ARCHITECTURAL NEXUS, INC. ❖ Top and above: Architectural Nexus Salt Lake City office. ARCHITECT: ARCHITECTURAL NEXUS. PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF BRIAN TWEDE. Architectural Nexus believes that both the client and designer create an architectural design. Neither can work alone. Design is an interactive process, with the client defining the needs and the vision. The designer must learn those needs and gain a thorough understanding until the client’s vision becomes a clear concept. This is the concept behind the architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and civil engineering services provided by Architectural Nexus. Two firms, Thompson Peterson Hammond (TPH) and Jensen Haslem Architects (JH) were afforded the opportunity in 1999 to join as associating architects in a design/build competition together with Layton Construction for the new $25 million Critical Care Pavilion at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center. The experience of working together on this project proved to be highly successful, as the combined firms won the design/build competition as constructors and designers of the pavilion. These partners’ collaboration to complete the design, document it, and participate in the construction was equally successful and rewarding. It led both firms to agree that they preferred a cooperative arrangement to their previous competitive situation. After design of the Critical Care Pavilion, the two firms received the programming commission for the new John A. Moran Eye Center II facility and the Emma Eccles Jones Medical Sciences building, both on the University of Utah Health Sciences Campus. Award of the new Mercy Medical Center in Durango, Colorado, in 2003 solidified Architectural Nexus as a dynamic new architectural force in healthcare design in the Intermountain West. The idea of combining into one firm was discussed, and specific efforts to merge the firms into a single corporate entity began within two months. Members of both firms found the experience of working together enjoyable. They noted that their work ethic and work styles were similar and their technological skills were compatible and complementary. Believing that they would serve their clients better as a single entity than as separate architectural firms, they had corporate documents prepared, and by January 1, 2003, Architectural Nexus was a legal corporate entity. Joint committees worked to decide how to merge the firms’ technology, processes and staff, and the committee participants had a great time discovering the talents, tools and individuals of the newly merged firm. Founders of the original companies—Steve Peterson, John (Jack) Hammond and Tim Thomas of TPH and Tom Jensen and Bruce Haslem, founders of JH—remained in leadership at Architectural Nexus. Don Finlayson, managing principal of JH Architects’ Salt Lake City office, was chosen as president of the new firm. Offices of the original firms were about seven blocks apart in Salt Lake City’s Sugarhouse area. There was a line of sight, so they could connect “wirelessly.” Placement of a transceiver on its building’s roof allowed communication except when the wind was blowing or the trees were in full leaf. Rather than using the names of key individuals, the new firm chose to call itself Architectural Nexus, indicative of their decision to join together. The annual management retreats began in 2002 at the Homestead Resort in Midway, Utah. The firm endures as one of the best-known healthcare design firms in the Intermountain West. To merge the cultures, TPH managing partner Dave Fletcher and Finlayson were given adjacent offices for easy communication. Traditions, such as a costumed annual Halloween bowling day and lunchtime volleyball on Fridays, were established to encourage socializing. An iconic project that continues to grow is the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Hospital at the University of Utah Healthcare Campus. Finlayson actually began working at the University of Utah Healthcare Campus when he was an architectural medical planner with a large national architectural firm. The relationship has continued into the twenty-first century. S A L T L A K E C I T Y — L i v a b i l i t y i n t h e 2 1 s t C e n t u r y 286
“We have grown our architectural staff and reach to include an office in Sacramento, California” Finlayson says. “All offices are leaders in institutional and large-scale landscape and site design, as well as civil engineering. Architectural Nexus is one of the largest architecture firms in the Intermountain West and Central California.” The firm’s 160 employees include 45 LEED Accredited Professionals, 2 civil engineers, 4 landscape architects, 6 interior designers, an in-house graphic design, marketing and administrative division. The headquarters is at 2505 Parleys Way in Salt Lake City’s Sugarhouse area, and the central and northern California office is in downtown Sacramento, California. “We are regularly placed as the largest firm in terms of revenue in industry publications such as ENR (Engineering News Record, a McGraw–Hill publication), Utah Business Magazine, Modern Healthcare, Utah Construction and Design magazine, Utah Facilities magazine, Comstock’s magazine, and the Sacramento Business Journal,” Finlayson notes. “We are cited in these publications for our Sustainable Design, Healthcare Architecture, and design for the Federal Government and Civic Architecture.” Architectural Nexus welcomes opportunities to grow within the Western Region of the United States as opportunities present themselves, he adds. The firm and its employees are represented on community and charitable boards and organizations throughout the region, including prominent members of AIA Utah, ASLA, SMPS Utah, USHE (Utah Society Healthcare Engineering), various planning commissions, 21st Business District, the Friends of the Children’s Justice Center Salt Lake County, Envision Utah, NAIOP (National, Association of Industrial and Office Properties) and many others.
