San Francisco and Boston – National architecture firm Shepley Bulfinch has announced the opening of a new office in San Francisco, which will be led by healthcare design leader Peter Schlosser, AIA, who has joined the firm as principal.
This expansion establishes a physical presence that builds on a portfolio of work for institutional clients on the West Coast, dating to the development of the original Stanford University campus in 1891. In recent years projects have included the design of an academic commons for Occidental College; three academic buildings for the University of California, Riverside; the central library for the city of Eugene, Oregon; and projects for the University of Southern California, Santa Rosa Junior College, and Cal Poly. This is the third office for Shepley Bulfinch, which established a presence in the Southwest in 2009 when it acquired Merzproject of Phoenix.
“There’s great synergy between California and Arizona, particularly in terms of the West’s major healthcare networks,” said Shepley Bulfinch president Carole Wedge. “I’m especially pleased that Peter Schlosser is heading up the effort, with his remarkable depth of knowledge and design approach.”
Peter Schlosser added, ”There has never been a more important time for design to have an impact on healthcare, when quality and efficiency have center stage, and no better place to do it than here in the West. I’m delighted to have joined the Shepley Bulfinch team and to have the opportunity to leverage their remarkable depth of talent, rich portfolio of clients, and their distinguished legacy in the growth of our practice here in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout the West.”
