In celebration of the Orange Line opening, our latest studio artwall installation is on display at Mayer/Reed. In its eighth year, the artwall is a rotating, collaborative display of staff submissions focused on a theme.
“The Vine” takes root in Vancouver
On August 24th, C-TRAN broke ground on construction of Vancouver, Washington’s first bus rapid transit line, “The Vine.” The enhanced bus system will connect the Westfield Vancouver Mall to downtown using articulated buses, raised boarding platforms, and a prepayment system for efficiency. Mayer/Reed collaborated with PIVOT Architecture to integrate “The Vine” identity, created by Nonbox, into the design of station signage and amenities—creating a readily recognizable and fully integrated brand experience for riders.

Ben Franklin is on the Move
After standing in situ for 100 years, the massive namesake of Franklin High School is on the move. He’s making way for major renovations, accessibility and modernization currently under construction. As the landscape architects of this project, we trust that Ben will find his new position in the main activity area of the campus satisfying, with a proper purview over school activities, sporting events and new site improvements. And who knows, maybe some kite flying?
Crossing the Tilikum Crossing
Mayer/Reedies joined over 40,000 people who walked, biked or rolled over the Tilikum Crossing during Bridge Pedal 2015. It was a beautiful day and amazing way to celebrate our city of bridges.
We’re counting down to the opening of Portland’s newest bridge—just one month from today!
