Public Sector
Based in Eugene, Oregon, Aligned Architecture designs spaces for public agencies throughout Oregon, from university renovations and civic facilities to statewide housing programs.
What is public sector design?
Public sector design covers buildings and spaces for government agencies, public institutions, and publicly funded programs. Unlike private commercial work, it often involves public funding processes, community stakeholder engagement, and coordination with agencies.
Our approach to designing spaces for public agencies
We engage user groups, respect public budgets, and navigate regulatory requirements to deliver spaces that reflect each community’s character and needs. In renovations of occupied buildings, we coordinate mechanical, electrical, and security systems while respecting the existing architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aligned Architecture only work on university buildings, or other public projects too?
Both. Our public sector work includes University of Oregon and Oregon State University campus renovations, along with civic and cultural facilities like the Mount Hood Cultural Center & Museum and Government Camp’s public restrooms, and statewide housing programs like HARP Homes. See our Adaptive Reuse Design page for more on how we approach renovating existing buildings across commercial, public sector, and residential work.
Does Aligned Architecture design public or affordable housing?
Yes. We designed a library of permit-ready home prototypes for Oregon Housing and Community Services’ Homeowner Assistance and Reconstruction Program, a statewide disaster-recovery initiative. We also design affordable housing for local developers and housing authorities; visit our Affordable Housing page for more.
How does Aligned Architecture work with public agencies and community stakeholders?
We actively engage user groups throughout the design process and coordinate closely with public agencies, managing architects, and community stakeholders to keep each project responsive to public budgets and community needs.
