2007 Basin Audiology Construction Site News

Building a new office

Welcome to our new building web site

I created content on this page to keep you up-to-date on our new building. We hope to in the new building by the second quarter of 2007. The new office is located across the street from our current location next to Applebee's Resturant. The content below is divided into four sections: Elevation and Floor Plans, Slide Shows, Summary About the Design Phase, and Printing Photos.

• Summary About Our Design Phase
  • You will find this information helpful if you are an audiologist and want to build a new or remodel an existing building. You will also find the information helpful if you live in Klamath Falls and need a builder and architect for a project. The design process was everything we did up to the point of breaking ground. You will learn how about our first design team and how we decided to develop our lots. Problems with the first design team almost derailed our project, but we turned things around with the second team!

  • There are two version of this file, a high resolution and low resolution version. Higher resolution looks better on screen and prints very nicely. The low resolution version downloads quickly and looks OK on screen. Both files have the same information. Click the link below to download the version you want. This file is a work in progress and I may make updates.
    • Click here (approximately 1 mb) to download the low resolution version of the summary (last updated April 22, 2008)

• Printing Photos
  • If there is interest in printing photos from these files, I will update the page with a link to allow online printing. The link will be active for 4-6 weeks. I'm not charging you to use my pictures, but you will need to pay for the photo processing of any photos you order. You are allowed to print photos for personal use only.
  • Sometimes I'm asked to email my photos for home printing. I won't do this for a number of reasons. If you do a lot of home printing, you should know that photos last longer and are cheaper to print using a professional service. Leo's Camera store in Klamath Falls does excellent work and they are very good to work with. When you use the online service, you have an option to have the photos printed locally for same day pickup at Leos. You can also have them mailed to your home, so the process is very convenient.
  • If you want more information about why home printing isn't a great idea, recently the NY Times published the article: Why Do-It-Yourself Photo Printing Doesn't Add Up. Click here to read the full text.
