Recently, our team celebrated topping out at El Nido with Hacienda CDC, Colas Construction, & Access Architecture. “Topping out” is a builders' rite traditionally held when the last beam (or its equivalent) is placed at the top of a structure during its construction.

El Nido will be a 55-unit affordable housing project in Clackamas County, Oregon, with units ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. It will serve families experiencing housing insecurity and the local community through universal and trauma-informed design principles.

Mackenzie and Access Architecture designed the project.
The project's developer and owner, Hacienda, is a Latino-led organization dedicated to advancing the social and economic mobility of all communities.

Congratulations to Hacienda and project partners City of Lake Oswego, Local Government, Clackamas County, Oregon, Metro, New Narrative, Colas Construction, Colas Development Group, Access Architecture, and Beneficial State Bank.

A state-of-the-art warehouse, pre-fabrication and maintenance area, and offices for an important construction partner.

Hoffman Construction Company, one of the Pacific Northwest’s largest construction companies, hired Mackenzie to design their biggest investment in Portland: Hoffman Yard.

We provided our full suite of professional services to create 60,000 square feet of new space to help them continue to grow their operations in the Pacific Northwest.

🚧 The most recent phase of development includes a brand-new warehouse, pre-fabrication and maintenance area, as well as administrative offices, conference and training rooms, and parking lots to support construction operations for years to come.

🔆 A rooftop solar array provides 100 KVA, generating up to 70% of the building’s power.

🏗️ Our design incorporated vital warehouse and repair tools like overhead cranes to lift and move heavy equipment around the building and an auto lift to elevate medium-duty trucks for repairs and maintenance.

Mackenzie is thrilled for the City of Puyallup - Government and Puyallup Police Department who celebrated the dedication of their new public safety building at Benaroya's South Hill + Technology Center.

The facility houses the City's police department, emergency management department, and an emergency operations center capable of supporting their essential services and community for the next 30+ years.

Mackenzie proudly provided architecture, landscape architecture, interiors, structural engineering, and land use planning services for the 51,000 SF space and exterior improvements.

The project's consulting partners included GFT, Barghausen Consulting Engineers and Wiggins Preconstruction Services. The project was collaboratively delivered with The Benaroya Company and JTM Construction.

Congratulations to the City of Puyallup and to the project team!

On Saturday, Mackenzie joined the Hoodland community, Hoodland Fire District 74, and the USDA Forest Service at the groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction on a new Main Station for Hoodland Fire.

The $19M new station will support coordinated emergency response activities between Hoodland Fire, the Forest Service, and other agencies.

“The new Hoodland Fire Station represents a long-term investment in the safety and resilience of our community,” Hoodland Fire said in a social media post about the groundbreaking.

Mackenzie provided our full suite of design services for this new station, including architecture, structural and civil engineering, landscape architecture, and interiors.

Our design and construction partners include Otak and INLINE Construction.

Congratulations to the Hoodland community!

This week, the T2 Building Innovation Hub was named one of twelve projects that could transform development along the Willamette River in the Portland Metro Region by The Oregonian.

The T2 Building Innovation Hub is an innovative project for Oregon Mass Timber Coalition led by the Port of Portland, connecting the dots between regional industry, demand for affordable housing, and sustainable building practices.

Check out the article to learn more about projects that could transform, "commercial, recreational and transportation opportunities along the river from Oregon City to North Portland."

12 projects that could transform development along the Willamette River The Reimagine the River conference gathered civic, tribal, nonprofit and business leaders to share updates on Willamette River projects from Oregon City to North Portland.

We’ve had an exciting start to the year here at Mackenzie, celebrating newly recognized and promoted team members! 🎉
 
Thank you, well done, and congratulations to each of these individuals.

A high-tech addition to the nation’s oldest continuously used ballpark for Oregon State Baseball 🦫⚾

Mackenzie designed a new state-of-the-art hitting facility at Goss Stadium on Oregon State University's main campus in Corvallis, Oregon. This significant addition to the stadium's facilities provides Go Beavs with important space to enhance training for rising student-athletes at this storied, three-time Collegiate World Series champion program.

Drivers of our design include:

🏋️: The hitting facility adds four batting cages, a weight training room, general storage, and customized spaces for advanced player development technology.

⌛: The ballpark is located within the City of Corvallis Historic Preservation district. Therefore, the hitting facility addition was required to meet Historic Preservation Planning and Commission guidelines.

👁️: The facility's design integrates a brand-new batter’s eye wall that meets NCAA requirements
