Perkins&Will welcomes Todd Buchanan as managing director of its Seattle, Washington studio. With strong ties to the Pacific Northwest and a history of building lasting client relationships, he has over 25 years of experience managing civic, healthcare and aviation projects throughout the region.
Buchanan has led several high-profile capital projects, including the 350-bed Western State Hospital behavioral health campus in Lakewood, Washington, which is under construction and aims for LEED Gold and Net Zero certification. He also served as principal-in-charge for the Kaiser Permanente Everett Ambulatory Surgery and Specialty Center Expansion in Seattle.
One of Buchanan’s goals is to advance the studio’s track record of designing and delivering excellence in healthcare, commercial real estate, higher education, life sciences and workplace. Some of the studio’s ongoing and recently completed healthcare projects include a new bed tower and campus-wide improvements for Swedish First Hill Medical Center.
