Company Description:
PlaceWorks is one of the West’s preeminent planning and design firms, with approximately 120 employees in seven offices. Formerly known as The Planning Center|DC&E, PlaceWorks’ history dates back over 40 years. The Planning Center, established in 1975, was created with the intent to integrate individual design disciplines and work efforts into a greater whole. Similarly, Design, Community & Environment (DC&E) was founded over 20 years ago to offer high-quality, personalized, and comprehensive planning, design, and environmental review services. In 2011, these two highly respected planning and design firms merged, forming a company with an expanded set of disciplines and strengths.
PlaceWorks serves both public- and private-sector clients throughout the state in the fields of comprehensive planning, environmental review, urban design, landscape architecture, community outreach, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Our talented, multidisciplinary team thrives on working with communities to tackle complex problems and develop workable solutions.
PlaceWorks is all about places and how they work geographically, environmentally, functionally, aesthetically, and culturally. We are also passionate about how we work with our clients. PlaceWorks brings together people from diverse practice areas, offering best-of-all-worlds capability and connectivity. Just as each place we work on is distinctly different, so is our thinking.
