This past weekend, the LRS team took on the SELCO Community Credit Union Pole Pedal Paddle relay in Bend, Oregon! 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚣‍♀️

From mountain running and biking to kayaking and the final sprint, our team had a blast tackling every leg of this multi-sport race.👏

A workplace gym, reimagined. At The Standard Insurance Center, the LRS Team transformed and expanded the building’s fitness facility into an elevated wellness destination, complete with instructor-led yoga and cycling studios, high-end equipment, and a dynamic fitness floor. Dark wood slats tie the space to the tower lobby, bold graphics energize the environment, and tunable lighting adapts throughout the day. A serene Japandi-inspired yoga studio subtly honors Standard’s Japanese parent company, creating a moment of calm within an active hub.

As part of our 50th Anniversary, we honored our legacy in a visible and meaningful way—lighting the Morrison Bridge in our celebratory green and white anniversary colors. For 50 years, we have been guided by a simple yet powerful idea: great design brings form and function together to create places that endure, inspire, and connect people. This moment symbolized not only our firm’s journey but also the people, places, and purpose that have shaped our story.

Before the lighting, our team gathered for a happy hour, enjoying time with colleagues before walking to the bridge as a group. Sharing the moment together made the celebration even more meaningful, reinforcing the sense of connection and collaboration at the heart of our work.

As we look ahead, our commitment remains the same: design with purpose, collaborate deeply, and create spaces that strengthen the communities they serve.

Thank you for our Portland team coming together to pack 99 sack lunches for the local community. Each lunch included a PB&J sandwich, an orange, a snack bar, and chips. The lunches were delivered the same day to Doreen’s Place at Transition Projects, located just down the street from our office.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this effort possible!
