As an employee of Blevins Harding Group, Kevin Anderson was
responsible for the design of a new remote facility for the Bozeman Daily
Chronicle. This facility combines all office and production functions.

The building concept incorporates local potato shed roof forms to provide
a vaulted customer service lobby and to house mechanical functions
adjacent to the production area. Future office and production area
expansions will be added the lineal building plan with little disruption to the
day to day operation. Through programming and workshop sessions with
department representatives the internal layout was designed around user
functions rather than rank or status.

The outdoor patio area and break room are designed to let employees
mingle and collaborate while providing an area of respite with views of the
mountains and plenty of natural light throughout the facility.
