Bob Hull Research Grant

Research has always been a part of every great project at Miller Hull and has often led to the design breakthroughs that define our best work. But much of this research has typically been conducted within the confines of a single project, often constrained by fee and schedule.

What could we accomplish if research is freed from day-to-day project constraints?
Meaningful research that extends beyond the current trends of architectural practice and changes the course of how we practice in the future requires rigorous research methods, dedicated principal investigators and appropriate levels of funding. Developing partnerships with academic and industry leaders could further leverage our efforts and make a deeper impact.

The Bob Hull Research Grant is awarded to one project annually to carry out research that is of both a personal interest and of benefit to the firm.

Equity Lab

Black Lives Matter.
We believe that through actionable and systemic change within Miller Hull, we can shape our workplace into an equitable and safe space for Black, Indigenous and People of Color, and ultimately for all staff members. We aim to create a work environment where all staff feel valued, seen and heard.

The mission of Equity Lab is to create an inclusive environment within Miller Hull that empowers all individuals in our community to feel seen, affirmed, understood, valued, supported, respected, protected, and welcomed. We must continually evaluate our progress while remaining open to criticism, discomfort, and learning as we acknowledge that although we don’t have all the answers, we have an obligation to move the dial in an anti-racist direction.

By equipping our internal Miller Hull community with the tools, knowledge, and skills to better understand the importance of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, we can better ensure that the projects and work we do are reflective of the communities they serve. Equity Lab is an advisory group of individuals within the Miller Hull Partnership who collectively provide recommendations, support and guidance as we continue on our JEDI path. Equity Lab is also introspective, self-evaluating and evolving – we aim to hold ourselves and our community accountable to a high standard of diverse and inclusive practice.

We believe that architecture designed by teams of diverse, multicultural and multiracial talent starts from a broader basis of understanding and results in a built environment better designed for all people.

We do the work best when we do it together. We do the best work when we include all voices.

Initiatives
Our commitment to create an equitable workplace and improve our professional industry is guided by these initiatives and certifications.

JEDI

The purpose of the JEDI initiative is to foster an inclusive and diverse practice and community at Miller Hull that focuses on continual, honest and open re-evaluation of all aspects of our practice through a Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion lens. As a result, we maintain a safe and trustworthy community that implements the best architecture that reflects our commitment to equity and becomes the change we wish to see in our industry and beyond.

Our JEDI Initiative is broken into three key goals:

Goal 1: Miller Hull fosters a diverse and inclusive environment that empowers all individuals in our community to feel seen, affirmed, understood, valued, protected, and welcomed.

Goal 2: Miller Hull designs equitable projects, reflective of the diverse communities we serve.

Goal 3: Miller Hull practices in a diverse and inclusive Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.

JUST

We were among the first companies to achieve a JUST label, a social justice transparency platform and disclosure tool developed by the International Living Future Institute. The JUST label provides at-a-glance information in key social justice categories, such as diversity, equity, safety, employee benefit, local benefit and community stewardship. Using the JUST label as one of our guides, we continue to improve our metrics each year as we work towards a more just workplace for our employees. Click here to view our current JUST label.

National Organization of Minority Architects

Miller Hull has committed to the NOMA NW 2020 Call to Action Pledge and the NOMA SoCal DEI Challenge 2020.
