Morrow County sought to update operations in a new county office facility that would complement the adjacent 1902 courthouse which is still in use. Wenaha Group facilitated a needs assessment to identify the workflow and space then managed the design process while being sensitive to the historic surroundings. Before construction started, Wenaha Group also assisted in the rezoning, replat and planning process. A contractor was selected who understood rural values and had a sense of the Heppner community. The new two-story, 11,216 square foot Bartholomew Administrative Building was completed in November 2015, and now houses county health, finance, special transportation services, juvenile services, and county court offices.
