It's bond season for a lot of school districts, and here's something we've seen up close: the vote is usually decided long before election day.
The districts that pass their bonds start early, with a facility assessment. There are two kinds: a Condition Assessment looks at the building itself, and a Functional Assessment looks at how well it still works for students.
Check out the slides for a breakdown, plus how long the process honestly takes and the one mistake that sinks more bonds than anything else.
Molly Macklin is one of our senior architects, and she has helped many school districts with this very thing. Don't miss her biggest advice on the last slide!

We got asked to help design some renovations at this lovely looking mansion…
We went out to do the building scans, heard some crazy noises from upstairs, and decided they should probably call the Ghostbusters instead!
Happy Halloween from all of us at Schemmer! 🎃

We typically don't believe ghost stories...until our technology that sees a million points per second captures one! 👻
This is a real point cloud from a recent building scan. See the figure in the red circle? The team says there were only two of them on site, and neither of them was standing there.
Their best guess is that someone walked through while the scanner was running. A person moving through a scan can leave a ghost like this in the data. Thing is, nobody remembers walking through.

Today is National First Responders Day!

Police, fire, and EMS get the thanks they deserve today. We want to add a group that often works without the spotlight: public works professionals.

When storms drop trees across roads, when a water main breaks, when snow buries the streets, public works crews are out there protecting the critical infrastructure every other response depends on. Many of them are our clients and partners, and we see up close what that work takes.

To the first responders in every department, including public works, we say thank you.

A few weeks ago, our Lincoln crew walked in the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk in support of our client LCMS (Lancaster County Medical Society), who received the funds raised!

Proud of this group, pink shirts and all. The four-legged teammate out front isn't on payroll, but he earned his spot in the photo!

The 2026 Schemmer Tournament of Champions is in the books: great golf, gorgeous weather, and even better company!

To our clients and partners who came out, thank you for spending the day with us, and for trusting us with your projects all year long.

And to the Schemmer crew who planned it, ran it, and kept the whole day moving: thank you. This doesn't happen without you.

A big thank you as well to Iron Horse Golf Club in Ashland for being such a great host. What a place to spend a day!

See you on the tee box next year!

A stormwater problem became the most peaceful place on the property.

At the replacement Motherhouse in St. Augustine, Florida, our team had to manage stormwater on a tight site. Instead of hiding the solution, they put a reflecting pool in front of the chapel, with walking paths and a prayer garden around it. It still does its job. Residents just experience it as part of home.

That's the idea behind all of our senior living design, as Shane Larsen, AIA, our Senior Living Market Leader, puts it: "Good senior living design is centered around how the residents want to live, and not necessarily around how the building and staff handle operations."

It shows up in smaller ways too. Breaking a large community into neighborhoods, each with its own living room, kitchen, and library, so daily life happens close to home instead of down one long hallway.

Shane breaks down the full approach here: https://www.schemmer.com/designing-senior-living-around-choice-connection-and-independence/

A senior living community is both a home and a workplace. Residents want privacy, comfort and opportunities to spend time with others. Staff members need […]

We’re saddened by the passing of Larry Jacobsen, AIA, who spent nearly 48 years with Schemmer and helped shape our firm.

“Larry was a great architect, principal, marketing guru, and a genuinely good guy. He cared deeply about his colleagues, clients, and community. We are thankful for Larry’s contributions to the firm over many decades. His influence lives on today throughout Schemmer,” said President & CEO Steve Kathol, PE, SE, FACEC.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Connie, his family, and the many friends who will miss him.
