After a year of meticulous planning and excited anticipation, MWH’s Phoenix Team moved into their new office on June 1, 2023. Let’s take a look around!
All who walk into the open-concept lobby are welcomed with a stunning view of Scottsdale’s famous Papago Park, the well-stocked Water Bar, and a hand-painted mural of insert location in the spacious kitchen and dining area.
From the color scheme to the Water Bar, this sleek new space’s design builds on the best aspects of MWH’s Broomfield office. The bar is a beloved spot at MWH HQ where coworkers, clients, and trade partners gather. Understanding the benefits of having a unique social hub in the office, the MWH Design Team created a similar gathering place with water and local beer on tap.
Now, the Phoenix Team congregates at the bar to eat lunch, conduct impromptu meetings, and ring the bell after major wins. Team members also invite potential new hires to the Water Bar to discuss their career goals and the many benefits of becoming a part of our growing team.
Our new Phoenix office is multiple levels ahead of any other company that I’ve seen. This is an office we are all proud to invite our owners, JV partners, subcontractors, suppliers, and others to show off the MWH brand. Well done team!
Matt Holopirek, Senior VP & Project Executive
The new office boasts several unique rooms that were designed to accommodate a variety of uses, such as interdepartmental events, executive meetings, and educational workshops. Cactus is a private meeting space with a beautiful view while neighboring Coyote is a stately conference room featuring a glass wall frosted with the MWH logo and a breathtaking view of Papago Butte.
The War Rooms are the Phoenix Team’s favorite collaborative area thus far. This adaptable space, which can be divided into two separate rooms, is equipped with large TVs, glass wall-mounted whiteboards, and whiteboard desks that can be configured to meet the needs of any event. Within just the first month of opening, the Phoenix team held Marketing and Estimating Summits in the War Rooms, hosting MWH, Slayden, and Methuen team members from across the US.
The private offices, bullpens, and cubicles are bright and bustling with coworkers hard at work. Each of these fresh workspaces were built with innovation, collaboration, and comfort in mind. The Phoenix office truly has a work area to fit the needs of each team member. All work areas include:
Opening this new office required countless phone calls, dozens of meetings, and many months of hard work. From developing the design and coordinating with contractors to selecting furniture and adding finishing touches, the team driving the new office effort gave it their all to make what was once a wish for the future into a stunning reality.
MWH and the Phoenix Team extend their deepest appreciation to:
Shannon Rowley and Mark Crouser
(Conceptualization, Design & Planning)
Savanna Auay-Fuay (Logistics & Coordination)
Kevin Hoskins (Project Manager)
2024 marks the ten-year anniversary of the completion of the Tres Ríos Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Project. Operating as the construction-manager-at-risk on this $232 million Pima County project, MWH Constructors enhanced the plant’s capacity from 37.5 MGD to 50 MGD, transforming an outdated facility (built in 1977) into a modern wastewater plant. The upgrade and expansion of the Tres Ríos WRF provided the highest quality effluent, classified as A+ reuse, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, automation, and process controls. This streamlined operational efficiencies and increased water availability for the residents of Pima County, Arizona.

The long-term, largescale project represents a significant overhaul of the Southeast Treatment Plant, San Francisco’s largest wastewater pollution treatment plant. BDFP is set to redefine the way wastewater is treated in the city, aiming to process up to 800 million gallons per day (MGD) and serving about 80% of the city’s population. Implementing state-of-the-art technologies and innovation, the project underscores MWH’s commitment to environmental sustainability and urban rejuvenation. The revamped plant will set new standards in waste management and pollution control, marking a major milestone in San Francisco’s environmental management history.
Read MoreThe Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP) project is transcending the conventional boundaries of construction and industrial development. At its core, it’s a story of revitalizing the Bayview-Hunters Point district, a historically underserved community, through innovative apprenticeship programs, local business collaborations, and a profound commitment to community integration. The initiative’s impact extends well beyond revamping infrastructure to San Francisco’s largest wastewater treatment plant facility to people and placemaking.
