Mass Timber Opportunity Mahlum is actively engaging in mass timber K-12 projects and will contribute expertise at the Mass Timber+ Conference. This positioning suggests sales conversations around mass timber feasibility studies, integrated design services, and collaboration with fabricators and contractors involved in timber construction.

K-12 Growth The firm has a growing PK-12 footprint in Oregon and Southwest Washington, with leadership expansion (Abby Dacey promoted to partner). This indicates continued pursuit of school district projects, renovation programs, and may benefit from targeted outreach to school districts, GCs, and vendors serving educational facilities.

Northwest Focus Deep Northwest roots and a reputation for healing, wellness, and community-focused design position Mahlum as a preferred partner for regional districts and institutions seeking contextually appropriate architecture. Prospects include districts and facilities seeking culturally resonant, sustainable designs.

Strategic Partnerships Recent collaborations with SGPA Planning and Architecture and past UW Bothell housing projects signal openness to joint ventures and multi-firm teams. Opportunities exist for BD outreach around collaboration on large-scale district projects, higher education housing, and public-private procurement.

Sustainability Credentials Past Living Building Challenge certification work and mass timber expertise underscore a sustainability-led value proposition. Leverage this to position Mahlum for grant-driven, LEED, and net-zero oriented projects, as well as marketing to clients prioritizing high-performance, durable environments.
