PCS Structural Solutions

PCS Structural Solutions bills itself as the largest structural-focused engineering firm in the Northwest, with a staff of 62 split among Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. Its Seattle office sits on Western Avenue near the waterfront, and the firm engineers vertical buildings of nearly every type: K-12 schools, healthcare, civic and government work, community buildings, adaptive reuse and commercial projects. Schools are a deep bench, with Blakely Elementary and Highline High School in the portfolio. PCS is structural engineer on the Renton High School replacement, a $110 million, 350,000-square-foot Skanska job designed by BRIC Architecture. It’s due to open in fall 2029, and students keep using the old building until then.
