Over its 70 years in business, Chambers Construction has developed a rich history of building medical facilities, affordable housing, schools and other projects that benefit the community throughout the Eugene/Springfield region.

Among them is Eugene’s Civic Park. The historic Civic Stadium was built in 1938 and hosted everything from Eugene Emeralds baseball games to concerts, rodeos, weddings and high school graduations. About 10 years ago, fire claimed the grandstand and the loss was a community tragedy, said Joy Pendowski, Chambers’ director of marketing and business development.

Civic Park is now the new home for Kidsports, which provides recreation and sports programs for kids regardless of ability to pay. It features a multipurpose turf and a second phase of construction includes a concourse and a 2,500-seat grandstand.

鈥淲e brought new life to Civic Park and it’s a new gem where Civic Stadium once stood,鈥� Pendowski said, adding the project sits in the heart of Eugene and has been personally rewarding for the company.

In 2017, Chambers initiated a paid internship program for journeyman carpenters and several participants have graduated and stayed with the company. As interns, they gain hands-on experience in construction by building homes for Habitat for Humanity.
