Perkins Eastman | Pfeiffer

Perkins Eastman’s #Communications Team gathered for its annual Mini Summit last week. Held in our celebrated #Pittsburgh studio this year, the team strategized and brainstormed with members of our #Sustainability, #DEI, #Marketing, #Graphics, and #Photography teams, while also meeting with Pittsburgh studio leadership. The conversations were productive, the ideas fresh, and the face-to-face time was invaluable. #PerkinsEastman #HumanByDesign #Strategy #Design #Architecture

Arts and Culture Practice Leader Bill Murray and our design team were in Denver last week to share design updates for the Loretto Heights Theatre Project with our clients. Ideas were exchanged among our team, the clients, and the operational crews as we discussed our visions for the next step of the project. The team also had the pleasure of revisiting our legacy project, Boettcher Concert Hall, designed by Norman Pfeiffer, one of the founding Principals of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates (HHPA), Pfeiffer’s legacy firm. The United States’ first concert hall in the round and a demonstration of HHPA’s innovative design approach, Boettcher hall has retained its impact over the years. We had a great time working with our clients in Denver and look forward to continuing our collaboration. #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #denver #denvercolorado #denverarts #boettcher #boettcherconcerthall

July 1st was Canada day, and in honour of our neighbouring country we are looking back at one of our projects in Canada, the Taylor Centre for the Performing Arts at Mount Royal University. Completed in 2013, the multi-floor facility is designed to LEED Gold certification and includes a concert hall with variable acoustics, ensemble and teaching studios, a recording studio, practice rooms, a multilevel lobby, and a roof terrace providing dramatic views of the campus as well as the surrounding region. The design of the Centre is based on a contemporary interpretation of the rural barn on Alberta’s vast prairies, set against a backdrop of the rugged Canadian Rockies. #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #mountroyaluniversity #performingarts #pac #respectcanadaday

Last week, Perkins Eastman staff, along with Arts and Culture Practice Leader Bill Murray, visited the Estancia High School Theater Complex project site in Costa Mesa. Our summer interns also participated in the tour, gaining valuable insights into how design-phase decisions are transformed into reality during the construction phase. We look forward to the project’s progress and anticipate its completion by summer 2025. #pfeiffer #perkinseastman #estanciahighschool #costamesa #sitetour #sitevisit

Wishing you a safe and happy Fourth of July! #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #july4th

Last week, our Library Practice Leader Gili Meerovitch, College + University Co-Leader Sharon Murphy, and Senior Associate Dianne Chia attended the 2024 American Library Association’s Annual Conference & Exhibition in San Diego. During the conference, a bus tour—sold-out in advance—visited one of Perkins Eastman|Pfeiffer’s projects: the Copley Library at the University of San Diego. With around 55 participants, the tour featured University of San Diego University Librarian Theresa Byrd discussing the Copley Library’s dramatic transformation and University of California San Diego University Librarian Erik Mitchell and his team highlighting innovative new spaces, including recent upgrades to Geisel Library. #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #ala2024 #ala #americanlibraryassociation

To wrap up June, the Perkins Eastman LA office celebrated Pride Month and Juneteenth with a festive happy hour. The event featured sessions on the history and significance of these celebrations, along with drinks, snacks, and sweet treats from Olive Los Angeles. Olive Los Angeles is a local small business, and all profits from their June bake sale will benefit ProjectQ Community Center and The OUT Foundation, two LGBTQ+ nonprofits dedicated to breaking down barriers and supporting the community. Everyone enjoyed taking a break from their desks, and the happy hour was the perfect way to embrace and honor a month of diversity and love! #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #juneteenth #pridemonth

Happy Juneteenth! Today we honor the journey to equality and reflect on the resilience and contributions of the Black community. #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #juneteenth

Last week, Perkins Eastman LA and Pfeiffer participated in the DBIA-WPR LA/OC Chapter’s Cornhole Fundraiser. Held in DTLA and Irvine, the event aimed to raise funds for Student Chapters, a program organized by the Association for Computing Machinery, enhancing student experiences, supporting attendance at conferences, and providing scholarships. We contributed to the fundraiser, and although we did not win the tournament, we had a great time networking with people in the industry while enjoying various games and raffles with great prizes. Great way to kick off summer! #pfeiffer #perkinseastman #fundraising #fundraise #designbuildinstituteofamerica #dbia
