Architects Brian Bennett and Jim Walker join MG2 as Principals<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEATTLE, WA<\/strong>\u2014May 15, 2024\u2014Global architecture and design firm MG2 has announced its acquisition of the Portland, Oregon-based firm Studio C Architecture. Studio C is known for its work in multifamily residential design<\/a> and has specialized in affordable housing<\/a>. Now backed by the additional resources that a large firm provides, the office will have the capacity and reach to do more than they could have in the past. For Principals Brian Bennett AIA, NCARB, LEED AP and Jim Walker AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, this new alignment is a coming home of sorts, as both principals grew their careers at MG2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome Jim and Brian to MG2,\u201d says Mitch Smith, MG2 CEO and Chairman of the Board. \u201cTheir strength in project design, understanding of building systems and experience in complex problem-solving will be invaluable. Their expertise, combined with their passion for affordable housing, is a perfect complement to our firm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim founded Studio C Architecture in 2007 with the vision that all projects are a reflection of the aspirations of the community in which they are built. Brian joined the firm in 2012 and together they have focused on the residential market with particular expertise in affordable housing. Recent projects include award-winning Deskins Commons in Newberg, OR, Deer Creek Village in Roseburg, OR, and Summit Gardens in Medford, OR, which is now under construction. Their passion for affordable housing stems from their understanding of the profound need and transformative impact that stable housing can bring to families, and both have been active in Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy joining MG2, we have the opportunity to do more, for more people, and in a shorter period of time,\u201d says Jim. \u201cThis has always been my vision and my goal\u2014to serve the community and provide affordable housing to people in need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to work with a firm\u2014that we know first-hand from past experience\u2014has the design skills, abilities and expertise of MG2 as well as a devotion to engaging with the community and making an impact,\u201d says Brian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 30+ years in architecture, Jim\u2019s strength in project and team leadership is grounded in collaboration, diversity of thought, and a genuine curiosity for innovative problem-solving approaches. Jim\u2019s mission of providing quality affordable housing has been a driving force, stemming from a profound recognition of the critical need and the societal issues it impacts. Jim sits on the Board of Directors for Portland\u2019s historic Hollywood Theatre. He earned a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from North Dakota State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his career, Brian has worked on a wide array of projects, ranging from small retail tenant improvements to large high-rise residential developments. This breadth of experience has provided him with direct exposure to the unique technical demands of various building structural types and building systems. Brian earned a Bachelor of Architectural Studies from the University of Washington and a Master of Architecture from the University of Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Studio C office in Portland will become MG2\u2019s seventh location after Seattle, New York, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Irvine, and Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
