We're excited to share our latest project for the University of Puget Sound, the second dorm we've revitalized on campus. Originally built in the 1960s, these dorms needed a refresh to meet the needs of today’s students and support on-campus living. Our design approach honored the history and legacy of the campus while introducing a modern, approachable twist. We incorporated the university’s iconic burgundy color, added environmental graphics for wayfinding, and created open kitchen and living lounges to foster social connections. Each floor now also features study lounges to support academic success. Historic architectural elements, like the fireplaces in the first-floor lounge and meeting spaces, were preserved and celebrated with custom wallcoverings, updated finishes, and furniture. Additionally, we added accessible and gender-neutral restrooms on each floor, ensuring inclusivity for all students. Check out the photos to see how we've blended the past and present to create a welcoming, functional space for students! #EGD #dormliving #UPS #BCRAdesign

We were excited to welcome Eila to our Spokane office this last Tuesday! 🎉 She joined us for half a day, getting a hands-on introduction to the exciting world of interior design. We enjoyed sharing our passion and giving her a glimpse into the creative process that shapes the spaces we live and work in. #InteriorDesign #CreativeJourney #WelcomeEila #DesignInspiration #spokanewa

At BCRA, we believe in the power of collaboration to elevate our projects, and we’re dedicated to ensuring that every design reflects this commitment. That's why we actively facilitate Progressive Design-Build (PDB) panels for our partners and team members. This collaborative approach allows us to streamline the design and construction process, bringing together diverse perspectives from the very beginning. By working closely with all stakeholders, we ensure that every project benefits from innovative solutions and efficient execution. We’re especially proud to have four DBIA Associates in-house, underscoring our dedication to delivering exceptional results through teamwork and expertise. (Christopher Spadafore, DJ Dean, Jeremy Doty, Matthew Staley) Our Design-Build approach not only enhances project outcomes but also fosters a stronger connection between design and construction, ensuring that our clients' visions are brought to life with efficiency and care. #DBIA #BCRAdesign

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our beloved principal and friend, Ben Dort, after his courageous battle with cancer. Ben’s dedication to improving our communities through design left a lasting impact on all of us. His leadership in our Public Works and Parks projects reflected his deep commitment to making a difference. In honor of Ben, we’re organizing a memorial fund to celebrate his life and legacy and to provide support to his wife and three children. We invite our community to join us in remembering Ben’s remarkable contributions here: https://lnkd.in/g86GyS4u A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at 1 pm at Fellowship Bible Church in Tacoma.

Creating safe, welcoming environments is at the heart of our projects, whether in education or healthcare, and beyond.
