Kicking off the weekend with our annual Plan North Summer Float & BBQ! It was fun to bring a Boise classic to members of our office who had never floated the river before.

Connecting with our team on a personal level is a huge priority, and one of the best perks of being a smaller firm. (We were just chatting today about how much we love our weekly team lunches, which happen every single Friday!)

We look forward to many more summer adventures. If you have another idea we should consider for a group outing, drop it in the comments!

Meet Lyndsey, our newest structural engineering intern! 
 
Lyndsey recently completed her junior year at Boise State and has jumped right in, translating classroom concepts into real-world design as she gains hands-on experience working on our component projects.

Outside of work, she’s an avid reader who enjoys spending time with friends and family. She also has a creative hobby: pressing and framing flowers (a unique activity she discovered in botany class!).
 
We’re excited to have Lyndsey on the Plan North team and look forward to supporting her as she continues to grow her engineering skills!

Bowling at Emerald Lanes is a team favorite for laughs and a little friendly competition! At Plan North, we care about doing meaningful work with people we genuinely enjoy. We’re grateful for the relationships we build inside and outside the office, and for a culture where making time for fun is just part of who we are!

Construction by CM Company, Inc. is really shaping up at The Park at Expo Idaho! Be sure to take a look if you’re walking the Greenbelt, attending an event at the fairgrounds, or cheering on AC Boise at the nearby soccer stadium!

We’re honored to be providing structural engineering throughout the site (on everything from buildings to the play structure foundations) for this amazing community amenity designed by our friends at PORT for Ada County, Idaho.

Project #1! Plan North’s very first project set the stage for the work we’ve done ever since: maintaining client vision through the development of innovative engineering solutions under complex constraints.

Located just south of San Francisco, this hillside residence required an engineering response shaped by the site itself. Poor soils, steep grades, and some of the highest seismic demands in the country led to our design of a unique rigid grid foundation system bearing into weathered bedrock. The result was a stable base for both the modular and site-built portions of the home.

The sloped site became part of the architectural solution: a daylit basement anchors the residence into the hillside, while the upper floor opens to natural light and views through the trees.

In many ways, this project still reflects what drives Plan North today: solving complex problems through intentional coordination, technical rigor, and engineering solutions developed in service of the client’s vision.

Last week, we celebrated a big milestone for our intern, Lottie Farley, as she graduated from Boise State College of Engineering! 🎓

Over the past two years, Lottie has become a valued part of our team. She is quick to help others, take initiative, and bring a positive outlook into the office every day.

Plan North colleagues know Lottie as someone who “always has a positive attitude and communicates well within our team on component projects,” as well as “a quick learner and a great teacher to those she works with.”

When reflecting on her experience working with our firm, Lottie shared, “My favorite thing about working at Plan North is the people. Everyone in the office is super respectful and always fun to be around. There are always a lot of good conversations and laughs throughout the day.”

We’re so proud of everything Lottie has accomplished and can’t wait to see where her future takes her as she returns to her hometown this summer. 👏 Congratulations, Lottie!
