About Us

Cushing Terrell was founded in 1938 on the belief that integrating architecture, engineering, and design opens the doors for deepened relationships and enhanced creativity. This foundation continues to define the firm and its multidisciplinary team today. Driven by empathy, the team works to design systems and spaces that help people live their best lives and enjoy healthy, sustainable built environments. With more than 500 team members and expertise across the commercial, education, government, healthcare, infrastructure, residential, and retail markets, the firm has offices in Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.  

Among Cushing Terrell’s 25-plus disciplines is their structural engineering team. The structural team provides clients with an array of services, including expertise in the growing trend of mass timber utilization. Architecturally, mass timber is aesthetically pleasing, has biophilic qualities, offers excellent acoustic control, and is sustainable with a low-carbon footprint. Structurally, mass timber weighs less than traditional building materials, is robust in strength, and naturally fire-resistant. From a construction standpoint, mass timber can be erected faster, shaving months off construction schedules. 

With a variety of types, mass timber is suitable for many different structures. And with expertise in all types, our team provides feasibility studies, cost analyses, and help with decision making to pair the building type with the best building material choice.
