Our interior design team has been working on an initiative to “green” our materials libraries, and before COVID-19 came into our lives, our offices were busy with transformation. In Boise, Katie Edwards and Elna Albano were spearheading the effort. One of the challenges was how to make disposal of materials no longer needed as low-impact as possible.

They began by sending items back to manufacturer reps and recycling as much as possible. They also put out a call to Boise team members to take home what they might be able to reuse. They saw great ideas for tile samples, carpet, vinyl flooring, countertop surfacing, fabric, and more. Elna’s personal favorite? Seeing people reuse material samples to beautify and improve their homes! From furniture levelers and plant coasters, to garage/art studio carpet and a “Scout-approved” sample area rug.

#SXSW 2020, here we come! Education design studio lead Corey Johnson joins Anastasia Prosina, founder and CEO of Stellar Amenities; Erin McLean, senior designer with Blue Origin; and Melodie Yashar, co-founder of Space Exploration Architecture, for a panel imagining the architecture of human colonies in space. Tune in for a transmission from Corey, who’s beaming in now…

Nicole Dovel-Moore (project manager and architect)

Nicole Dovel-Moore (project manager and architect) joined forces with Nick Doherty (refrigeration engineering lead) to experience as much as they could at #euroshop2020. Part of our retail design team, they took in the sites and took note of the latest trends at the “future-oriented and dynamic” trade fair in Düsseldorf.

Some of their interesting finds: @bizerba_global’s POS and scale technology allowing customers to scan and weigh products as they shop; in-store harvesting concepts, such as mushrooms in an interactive display with recipe ideas; live plant grow coolers at @edeka, a grocery store/gastropub/patisserie with in-store cooking school, recycling, and dry cleaners.

And when they needed a lift, they took a #euroshop rickshaw!

Happy #Eweek2020, round two! Just a few of our super-star engineers: Tim Johnson leads our energy services group, Hollie Mellgren ensures structures can withstand the elements, and Chelsea Billingsley works to improve our public water systems. They’ll be featured on our blog this week, describing how they chose their professions and how they expend energy outside of work. Link in bio.

Throughout history, engineers have shaped our society, impacting every aspect of daily life. From buildings and transportation infrastructure to public works and technology, they’re continuously innovating and designing new approaches to complex systems and structures.
To celebrate #Eweek2020, we’re profiling a handful of #engineers from across our firm to learn more about their work, how they’re inspiring young people to explore #STEM careers, and what they do for fun. Visit our blog for their stories. Link in bio.

Our education design team joined Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC) in Ontario, Oregon, to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Career and Technical Education center, which TVCC President Dana Young described as “a catalyst for economic recovery in our community.” Bob Miller, project manager with @petra_inc; Corey Johnson, architect and associate principal with @cushingterrell; Kathy Yasuda, TVCC Foundation executive director; and Dana Young, TVCC president, gathered for a photo opportunity at the event.

With space for welding, fabrication, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing, the facility was designed for student success.

@cushingterrell representing in force from Seattle, Austin, and New York. This week we came together to dive into topics of equitable design, embodied carbon, zero waste, the importance of listening to each other, and redirecting the crisis of rapid climate change. We are feeling inspired and fueled to spread our knowledge with our teams and clients. Oh, and we signed up for the WELL AP exam! #cushingterrell #wedesignforyou #wellbuilding #WELLAP #healthybuildings #greenbuild19 #atlanta #loveyermother

In the City of Trees, you can expect a lot of leaves. For thirteen years running, our Boise team has been participating in #RakeUpBoise, a @nwboise program that brings teams together to rake up leaves for seniors and people with disabilities. It was a bright and sunny day for this family affair, with kids joining in the fun and learning a little about helping others and the nature of chores. We have it all — the before and after pics, the cute kid pics, you name it. Nice job everyone!

Continuing with the trees/native plants theme, our Minneapolis crew volunteered with @greatrivergreening to plant native seeds and plugs at Lilydale Bluffs in Saint Paul. Erosion in the area has led to degrading bluffs and lower water quality in the nearby Mississippi River. The native plants will help encourage habitat recovery and stabilize the soil. Although the day was muddy and wet, they had a lot of fun (with a valiant effort from a wee one). In total, it was estimated they helped plant 9,000 plugs along a two-acre swath of hillside. They’re excited to go back in the springtime to see what it all looks like!

Our team in Minneapolis, Minnesota, always has great ideas about how to get involved in the community — this fall, trees and native plants were the theme.

Team members participated in the inaugural Fall Tree Census in downtown Minneapolis. A “Greening Lab” event in partnership with @greenminneapolis, @mplsdid, and @minneapolisparks, the organizations are working together to improve the health of urban trees. Some of the facts the team learned: Urban trees live in a dry and harsh environment; it costs $10 a day to water one tree; in this northern climate, trees are severely impacted by sidewalk salt. Some of the solutions? Soil sensors to monitor salinity levels and tree gator bags to help with watering. The tree census will aid efforts by providing data as to which tree species grow best in urban environments as well as the nuances of location.
