ALSC Architects celebrates 76 years of bringing our clients’ stories to life!
From the World’s Fair to designing first-class athletic facilities, we are the Inland Northwest’s architect.
It all started in 1948, with the vision to design innovative architecture and give back to our community. Our founder, Tom Adkison, believed in the power of architecture to transform neighborhoods and mold the spirit of an entire region.
“The best buildings are found to have been produced when there is something within the problem which has been inspiring to the architect. There will be something distinctive about its use, its site, and its place that will give it a distinctive stamp.”
Thomas R. Adkison, Founding Partner
This philosophy catapulted our firm into the international spotlight with Tom’s planning and design for EXPO ’74 World’s Fair in Spokane, Washington.
That was just the beginning. Our work is consistently recognized around the region and across the country for simple, inspired architecture.
Tom’s legacy is alive and well as we break new ground in architecture while volunteering hundreds of hours a year for more than 50 organizations. Philanthropy and design are how we make our region a better place to live, work, and play.
