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 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 U.S.

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)
