Cushing Terrell, a design company with expertise in multiple fields, has been named as one of the ENR Mountain States Design Firms of the Year. The award was shared with SWCA Environmental Consultants. Companies are selected for this recognition based on various criteria such as regional earnings, ongoing projects, community and industry involvement, and recent developments, among others, on an annual basis.
“Given our founding 85 years ago in Billings, Montana, and the fact that today we have offices and projects across the Mountain Region, this area of the country holds particular significance for our team,” said Greg Matthews, Cushing Terrell President and CEO. “This recognition — and the success we’ve seen over the years — is thanks to our clients and the talents of our team members who use their skills and passion to drive the initiatives and incredible design work that make an honor like this possible.”
Cushing Terrell was chosen for their inclusion in the 2022 Best Firms to Work For list by the Zweig Group, a program that assesses workplace culture, employee benefits, retention rates, and more for AEC firms in the U.S. and Canada. They were also recognized for their commitments to sustainability through the AIA 2030 Commitment and SME Climate Commitment, as well as their launch of a formalized pro bono program. Additionally, their involvement in significant regional projects like the Montana Heritage Center, Downtown Boise YMCA, and Montana State University’s Romney Hall contributed to their selection.
The firm has been awarded the title of ENR Mountain States Design Firm of the Year for the second time in 2023, with their first award received in 2016.
