8.12.10 | San Francisco, CA | We are pleased to announce that the month of August marks the 25th Anniversary of POLLACK architecture.

POLLACK architecture was established by Richard Pollack in August of 1985. Fast forward twenty-five years and POLLACK architecture has 5 Principals and 40 employees working out of offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Delhi serving clients all over the globe.

Our 25th anniversary sees a host of new projects in the pipeline, for clients such as Adobe, Salesforce, Apple, and VF Corporation (The North Face, Jansport, etc). This year also saw POLLACK architecture rise into the top 100 of Interior Design Magazine's list of "Design Giants". While undoubtedly an achievement, we think that given the evidence of the past 25 years we're just warming up...

In other news, POLLACK architecture is pleased to announce the recent hire of two new staff members, and the recipients of our Jason Wertz Memorial Scholarship.

Ed Hall joins our San Francisco office as a Junior Designer after previously interning for us during the summer of 2007. Ed completed dual degrees in Architecture and Business at Auburn University and he spent the past year designing and building custom homes in Auburn, Alabama. It took 5 days and 3,000 miles of highway to bring him back, but Ed is looking forward to again being part of the rigorous and lively culture at POLLACK.

Adam Beneke joins our Los Angeles office, also as a Junior Designer. Prior to POLLACK Adam focused on entertainment design including theme park environments. Adam has enjoyed a busy start to life in the LA office, working on projects for Cenic and Sony, and other great work with the firm.

This year we renamed and redoubled our annual scholarship award. First established in 1995 in celebration of POLLACK's ten-year anniversary, the Jason Wertz Memorial Scholarship assists students in their pursuit of higher education in architectural and/or interior design. Vanessa Pineda and Relicque Lott won the prizes from our Bay Area applicants, and plan to attend UC Davis and Cornell University respectively. In LA, Chase Rojas and Patrick Dodson received the scholarships and will attend Cal Poly and Syracuse University respectively.

From offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Delhi, India, POLLACK architecture interprets company brands through interior architectural design. POLLACK architecture's client-centered approach is applied to facilities for apparel and retail, entertainment, financial services, law, and technology.
