Hui will collaborate with Matt Needham, HOK’s San Francisco-based director of Aviation + Transportation, to expand HOK’s already robust A+T practice across the Pacific Northwest region.
“Our goal is to design the world’s best, most sustainable transportation facilities that enhance the traveler experience and increase opportunities for commerce and tourism,” said Needham. “Keith has played an important role on major airport projects around the world, and we’re pleased that he is returning to HOK to elevate the expertise and service we provide to A+T clients.”
“I’m passionate about innovative design solutions that integrate technology to elevate the traveler experience and help ensure a more sustainable future,” said Hui. “I’m excited to build upon my experience and rejoin the HOK team. Together, we will continue to design iconic aviation and transportation facilities with a strong sense of place.”
