HGA

The new Integrated Science and Engineering Building is California State University San Marcos' first major construction project in over a decade. Featured in Building Design+Construction Media, the state-of-the-art facility designed by HGA and constructed by C.W. Driver Companies will expand engineering programs to 2,000+ students, meeting regional demand for engineers and computer scientists. Sustainability and transparency are at the heart of the design, with large windows sparking curiosity and open spaces such as a café and collaboration lab, fostering collaboration.

We've collected a handful of HGA projects that harness the power of π for—you guessed it—Pi Day! 🥧 From pillars to wires, architecture would be impossible without Pi. This incredible number has been used to create beauty, precision and safety in design since the ancient pyramids. 📸: 2. Kyle Jeffers, 3, 6, 8. Paul Crosby, 4. Corey Gaffer, 5.

Get to know our CEO, Mia Blanchett. Named by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal (MSPBJ) to their Power Shift 25 list, this feature highlights her journey from serving up icy treats at Tasty Freeze—to her first year as CEO—and the more than thirty years with HGA in between. Perhaps the most striking revelation? She's binging White Lotus... just like the rest of us! 👋 Meet Mia: https://lnkd.in/eqq4AbiD 📸: ACBJ Photo Illustration

Comparing access to healthcare in urban and suburban environments can often feel like you're studying contrasting worlds. To close this gap between services in our cities and the rural communities that sprawl beyond them, focus shifts from the medical facilities themselves to preparing and incentivizing the next generation of practitioners. In this recent Insights piece, Kim Jensen and Carli Cole, Assoc. AIA dive into ongoing work with University of Minnesota Medical School and CentraCare that aims to create a circular economy—raising and retaining top-tier medical professionals in the communities that need them most.

“As architects, interior designers, engineers, and design professionals, we care deeply about what happens in the city,” said Jay Scruggs, AIA, LEED AP, principal with HGA, on revitalizing Downtown DC. i+s sat down with Scruggs and Emily Jelinek, design principal at HGA, to explore the adaptive reuse of the historic Woodies Building—now home to HGA’s DC office. Challenges included preserving rich historic details while designing a modern, hybrid-friendly workspace. With team engagement and in-house expertise, the result is a collaborative space that reflects both history and innovation.

The Engineering and Computer Science Center at Dartmouth College reflects the institution's dedication to digital literacy and interdisciplinary research and education. In partnership with our Design Insight Group, Samir Srouji led an investigation aimed at understanding the ramifications of the increasing integration of such space types across diverse disciplines and the effects on architectural planning and design.

In February, HGA celebrated spaces driving innovation and discovery. From a cutting-edge medical research center at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard to the sustainable life sciences research campus advancing Cell Signaling Technology (CST)'s important work, our clients are shaping the future of research and sustainability. In the City of Madison, WI our engineering team is exploring geothermal technologies to support the city’s ambitious 2030 energy goals. Explore these groundbreaking projects and more in this month’s HGA Happenings. ➡ https://lnkd.in/enQK8MHE

Science + Technology principals Meredith Hayes Gordon, AIA and Cristianne Peschard joined the Ed Up Campus Planning podcast to dive into the design behind the Institute for Integrative & Innovative Research (I³R) at the University of Arkansas. Designed to foster collaboration across disciplines and the community, I³R is built for cutting-edge research today, with the flexibility to adapt for the future. Hear how the team approached designing for a dynamic, ever-evolving research landscape. Tune in to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/edb6CBv7

A pair of cranes are at work, bringing the new Bakar Research and Academic Building to life at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Parnassus Heights campus. There are only 10 cranes in the world that can perform the type of lifting operations needed for the construction, built in Germany and shipped to San Francisco. An exciting time for HGA with partners Snøhetta and HENSEL PHELPS to celebrate the buildings taking a physical shape in the skyline. Learn more ⬇
