MCA provides many opportunities for advancement and each individual is encouraged to find their own path to excellence. We challenge all to maintain an entrepreneurial mindset and individuals are recognized for their contributions.

    One of MCA’s greatest strengths is the staff’s diversity of knowledge. The range of expertise in the office allows the firm to serve our clients in the best way possible, but also fosters a great learning environment for individuals to excel in their career.

    I greatly enjoy having the ability to work in all sectors of work, as opposed to just one assigned studio. MCA is always willing to go the extra mile. MCA employees don’t fight each other, they fight for each other. I love both the work atmosphere created by our wonderful office space and interacting with all my kind and friendly colleagues.

    - Senior Associate
  • 03/04

    MCA supports me in my development, both personally and professionally. Being surrounded by a creative team of intelligent, supportive professionals is satisfying.

    - Associate Principal
  • 04/04

    Our office is so well designed, that it motivates me to come to work and do my best to produce designs that are just as uplifting for people in their own workplace. I believe that the care put into a company’s physical building represents the care they put into their employees’ success.

    Mentoring at MCA - Learning from the best

    “MCA gives younger designers plenty of opportunity to learn from experienced and knowledgeable senior designers and project managers.”

    -Intern Architect

    MCA has established a friendly atmosphere that is conducive to learning new skills. We encourage our employees to ask questions and make use of the firm’s best resource – our people. Everyone contributes to the firm’s expertise. Senior staff pass on their experiences and younger employees explain their technical savvy. Our people are willing to go the extra mile to help out a colleague. In fact, MCA recognizes employees who assist their peers with our “Hero of the Month” award. MCA promotes a culture that values our staff’s diverse capabilities.

    Collaboration makes the team

    “It’s a team effort…Everyone is helpful and willing to teach.”

    -Intern Architect

    At MCA, we enjoy sharing knowledge and ideas. We recognize that designs are richer and more successful when they encompass multiple points of view. The office is arranged to encourage collaboration in both formal and informal settings. We have mobile pin-up boards that are used for design charrettes. The open studio has dozens of touchdown spaces for impromptu team meetings. Our generous workstations accommodate a guest chair, allowing two people to meet, sketch and collaborate on the fly. With all of these opportunities for collaboration, MCA enjoys an energetic, friendly, and innovative atmosphere.

  • Two time National AIA award winning Education & Training Program

    OUR PEOPLE

    The learning never ends........

    To maintain thought leadership and the highest level of quality control, a robust program of continual staff education & training is necessary. Many years ago, MCA established our in-house Education & Training Committee, tasked with ensuring that MCA staff had access to substantial opportunities for professional development throughout the year. The program we developed has twice won the National AIA Award for Education & Training programs, and we were asked to present our methodology at the  Adaptable Strategies for Powerful Professional Development conference in Tucson. Our employees can gain all State and AIA Continuing Education credits by simply taking advantage of our in-house opportunities, although we strongly encourage involvement in additional outside opportunities.

  • OUR TEAM

    A Dog's Life....

    Meet Lili! Like many of us around here, she seems to be always juggling several balls at once. She doesn’t come in every day, but when she does, she is usually joined by other furry friends Abby and Watson, who also enjoy MCA’s “Bring your Dog to Work” philosophy. They are not particularly productive designers, but they are great team players and are skilled at finding creative places to snooze the afternoon away!

    Having grown up with frequent visits to MCA, Lili now fancies herself the official Office Greeter. Her mom, Naomi Hemme, says “Lili loves coming into work with me. She makes a point to make her rounds and greet everyone—she loves the pets and attention!” Lili’s energy is always positive and she’s a welcome addition to the crew.

    We work hard but are never too busy to enjoy a few of the finer things in life… like a wagging tail.
