Mithun has promoted JoAnn Hindmarsh Wilcox to partner. Hindmarsh Wilcox is a nationally recognized expert in the design of learning environments from early childhood development centers to K-12 schools and higher education campuses. She has 25 years of experience collaborating with clients to co-create spaces that amplify curriculum, maximize resources, foster community belonging, strengthen student agency and uplift learning outcomes.

Recent efforts include a new mass timber academic and physical education building for the Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Youth, which is based on findings from the Building Better Schools Mithun R+D study; The Evergreen School Campus Expansion; and planning and building projects with Bainbridge Island, Highline, Lake Washington, Northshore and Renton public school districts.

Evan Bourquard has been promoted to principal. Bourquard is known for his skill at leading complex renovations for civic and higher education clients, including historic structures and buildings with ongoing operations during construction. Recent projects include the award-winning ARTS at King Street Station, Green Lake Community Boathouse and multiple renovations for the University of Washington including the Art Building and Haring Center.

Lani Lee and Allison Orr are new Seattle-based associate principals.

She leverages this diverse experience to create spaces that support learning, discovery and collaboration for people of all ages. Projects include confidential workplace campus planning in the Puget Sound area, The Evergreen School Campus Expansion, and renovation of a Pacific Northwest cultural institution.

Orr brings broad insights and a talent in illustrative hand-rendering to the development of mixed-use residential projects ranging from significant urban redevelopment efforts like Pop Blocks and Byline in Portland, Oregon, to the LEED Platinum certified UC Irvine Mesa Court Towers first-year student housing, and the Coeur d'Alene Resort Expansion in Idaho.
