History

In 1944, H.W. Lochner, Inc. was founded by Harry Lochner, Sr. Harry worked on the development of some of the country’s first urban area freeway plans, along with plans for freeway corridors between cities. These plans were a forerunner to what is now the Interstate Highway System.

One of the first comprehensive highway design software systems, HDPS, was developed by Lochner. HDPS was endorsed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and many state Departments of Transportation (DOT). The firm established Techplot as a subsidiary to market the system to other firms.

Major project wins continued, including the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven, Connecticut, and the Mid- Currituck project in North Carolina, Lochner’s first P3 project.

Recently, Lochner merged with BWR to become a firm of 520 employees in 30 offices in 19 states.

Merrick & Company is an employee-owned, multidisciplinary professional services firm specializing in the energy, national security, life sciences, and sustainable infrastructure markets.

History

In 1955, Sears W. Merrick and Ed Lecuyer formed an engineering company in Colorado and in 1959 it was incorporated as Merrick & Company. In the beginning, Merrick was primarily a civil engineering and surveying company, offering surveying and design services for electrical transmission and distribution projects throughout the Rocky Mountain region. In response to client demands for a broader range of services from a single source, the firm steadily expanded to embrace all of the traditional engineering disciplines as well as architecture. By the late 1980s, the firm’s engineering and architectural capabilities were reflected in projects throughout the U.S. The existing range of technical services was expanded in the late 1980s to include geographical information services (GIS), process engineering, and material-handling equipment design and fabrication.

About

Grimshaw architecture firm was founded by Sir Nicholas Grimshaw in 1980. Over the years Grimshaw has built an international reputation for rational building design that follows an approach toward structure, space and skin. The firm has a worldwide portfolio with substantial experience in transportation, offices and educational facilities, the industrial sector, arts and leisure schemes and masterplanning. In 2000, Grimshaw became the first major architectural firm to meet the ISO 14001 environmental management system standard and continues to use its own environmental audit system, EVA. (1)

Sir Nicholas Grimshaw

Sir Nicholas Grimshaw was born in 1939 in Hove, East Sussex, England. Grimshaw is a prominent English architect known for many modernist buildings worldwide. He was educated at Wellington College and later attended the Architectural Association School of Architecture. Grimshaw partnered with Terry Farrell for 15 years before starting his own firm initially called Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners. In 2004 he became the President of the Royal Academy.(2)
