Gradin Community Sports Park, Gresham's first tournament-ready sports park, is now open to the public! It’s 32-acres of open spaces, scenic views of Mt. Hood, and nearby buttes in east Gresham.

Mackenzie’s design, in collaboration with the City of Gresham - Government, improves a cherished community asset and establishes a regional destination for soccer and softball tournaments.

The park’s design enables multi-generational recreation, creates a welcoming and attractive aesthetic, and ensures the park's spaces are accessible to everyone. The new facility's ability to host tournaments and draw participants will create new economic and cultural value for the community.

Yesterday, Mackenzie celebrated the grand opening of the Crisis Care Center (CCC) in Lynnwood, Washington.

The center's opening marks a significant milestone in advancing community-based behavioral health and crisis response services at a time when communities across the nation are facing unprecedented mental health and substance use challenges.

Designed to provide a welcoming, accessible, and supportive environment, the CCC offers critical crisis stabilization, rehabilitative care, and pathways to recovery for individuals and families in need. The realization of the CCC represents the commitment of community leaders, city government, healthcare providers, and state representatives to invest in essential behavioral health infrastructure and expand access to lifesaving services.

“The growing demand for behavioral health and crisis response services requires environments that are both clinically effective and deeply human-centered,” said Brett Hanson, Mackenzie’s Principal-in-Charge on the project. “By bringing together stakeholders around a shared vision centered on dignity, accessibility, and trauma-informed care, we were able to help create a facility that will have a lasting impact for generations to come.”

Helping bring this vision to life, Sea Mar Community Health Centers will serve as the resident service provider, delivering integrated care and support services to the community through this transformative facility.

Congratulations to the City of Lynnwood, WA - Government, Sea Mar Community Health, and to entire project team on the successful realization of this vital community resource.

It’s time for a MackDesign charrette! 🧩📐
 
A few times a year, Mackenzie team members from all departments and offices come together to tackle one project. We had a chat with design directors Steven Tuttle & Lynne Ingram about our company-wide charrette challenges, how they impact our real-life projects, and the benefits of multidisciplinary brainstorming.

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.
