Vancouver Howard Johnson hotel being turned into homeless shelter A big shelter project in Vancouver got a $5 million boost. The state of Washington just put the money into buying a hotel being turned into a homeless shelter.

THE FUTURE IS IN GOOD HANDS. SO IS THE LEGACY.

Nearly 30 years ago in 1992, the first 100% women-owned architectural firm in Portland was launched. Nancy Merryman, FAIA, and Linda Barnes, FAIA, are now passing the baton.

Along with principal, Doug Benson, FAIA, they are entrusting their firm (and legacy) to a new owner, Amy Palmer, AIA, who has 15 years of experience and has been a skilled leader at MBA.

Amy and MBA’s talented design team will build on the founders’ legacy – fostering diversity and an inclusive culture, and providing clients with inspired ideas and superior work. Nancy, Linda, and Doug will be right behind her. They aren’t going far.

MBA is proud to be the architect for the new Laurelwood Center！
