The Sawdust Building, also called the Fuel Shed, was originally used to store wood waste that was burned in the boilers that generated steam heat for the entire Fairview campus.

The 10,800-square-foot building was designed by Salem architect Lyle Pascoe Bartholomew and was built in 1938. The roof stands 20 feet off the ground and is supported by steel trusses on concrete piers.

The Sawdust Building was temporarily being used as a staging area for construction materials for the Pringle Creek Community.

Eventually, two-thirds of the space will be “infilled” with new mixed-use buildings, while the remaining third will be remodeled as one-of-a-kind open-air pavilion.
