Mackenzie is pleased to announce the launch of a new Laboratory Planning and Design practice led by new hire Genie Filipowicz as Senior Laboratory Planner. 

The practice expands the firm's ability to support clients with specialized lab programming, planning, and design services across a wide range of research, education, healthcare, public safety, and advanced technology environments.
 

Mackenzie client Lam Research plans to invest, "more than $3 billion over the next five years to expand its global research and development lab network, though the company did not specify how much would go toward facilities, equipment or hiring," according to the Business Journal.

"The announcement follows the approval of a proposed agreement with Washington County and the city of Tualatin, Oregon, under which Lam intends to invest up to $1.7 billion there through 2041. The project would support a multibuilding R&D campus and is projected to create nearly 450 direct research jobs, though it still requires state approval."

"Portland-based senior living company The Springs Living broke ground this week on a 225-unit project in Issaquah, its first in the Seattle area, the company announced."

“We see ourselves as partners for our clients and stewards for the community," Mackenzie's Sacramento lead, Jan Mason told Comstock's Magazine recently. "That formula works well for us and we are excited to bring it to Sacramento.”

"On a project that was under construction, I was having a challenge with the contractor responding to my observations that the work in place was not in alignment with the design," Mackenzie Architect and Principal Alison Hoagland recounted to Authority Magazine recently. 

"There's been broad public support for things outside of what I call traditional economic development wins," Mackenzie Principal and Architect Dietrich Wieland said to the Portland Business Journal recently about the outlook for commercial real estate in the city. 

"Semiconductor equipment manufacturer Lam Research opened a four-story office building on its Tualatin campus Friday, a $65 million project with space for 700 employees."

Mackenzie is proud to have designed this new facility and Perlo Construction built it.

“Mackenzie is pleased to announce that architect Steve Rupert is joining the firm as principal. With over two decades of industry experience, Steve brings a wealth of expertise in project leadership. He offers a proven ability to lead cross-disciplinary design teams through highly complex projects from start to finish and passion for designing environments and buildings where people experience a sense of welcome and find joy.”
