Inspiring the Next Generation of Architects! Today, we had the pleasure of hosting the drafting class from Arvin High School at Ordiz Melby Architects! It was a great opportunity to share what we do as architects, answer their questions, and give them a glimpse into the world of design and construction. Seeing their enthusiasm and curiosity reminds us why mentorship and education are so important in shaping the future of our profession. Who knows? We may have just met some future architects in the making! Thanks to their teacher Ty Newton, and those who helped make this visit possible. We love inspiring young minds and fostering a passion for design! #FutureArchitects #Mentorship #Architecture #OrdizMelbyArchitects #DesignInspiration #arvinhighschool

We are excited about the completion of one of our later projects, the new Greenfield Middle School Gymnasium! At Ordiz Melby Architects, we take great pride in designing spaces that inspire and serve the community, and this project is no exception. This state-of-the-art facility was designed with innovation, functionality, and sustainability in mind, providing students with a dynamic space for athletics, assemblies, and community events. Every detail was designed to enhance the student experience and pride. Looking forward to the ribbon cutting ceremony on March 28th. We can’t wait to see students and staff enjoy this incredible new space for years to come! #greenfieldmiddleschool #studentpride #newgymnasium
