In-Process is a lecture series presented by AIA Oregon exploring the creative process of local architects, designers, makers, and creators.

In this edition of InProcess, we will hear from Scott Mooney of SRG Partnership and Lyle Keck of Affiliated Engineers, Inc. 

Scott will be talking about the process of design at SRG’s office with a focus on Academic Building 2 – OSU Cascades’ second academic building.  AB2 embodies a deep commitment to sustainability and decarbonization, including a Net Zero Energy target and a structure of regionally sourced mass timber.  Energy modeling and finding integrated solutions that go beyond just the building’s mechanical systems played key roles in the design’s development.  Lyle Keck will be talking about the work of Affiliated Engineers, Inc, including his role in the collaborative process for AB2.
