CSHQA is a full-service design firm in the western United States specializing in architecture, engineering and interior design. Established {{Years or months ago|1889}} in 1889 in Boise, Idaho, CSHQA is now one of the northwest's architectural and engineering firms, with projects nationwide.[http://www.cshqa.com/aboutus.php CSHQA Architecture, Engineering, Planning, Boise Idaho] Many of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

History

CSHQA began in 1889 as a one-man, one-room office when W. S. Campbell, a Scotsman educated in Edinburgh, moved to Boise to practice architecture. He worked independently until March of 1892, when he formed the partnership of Campbell & Hodgson with Isaac Hodgson Jr., son and former partner of Isaac Hodgson. The partnership was responsible for the David C. Chase House (1892) in Payette and had been dissolved by October of the same year."Beautiful Designs," Idaho Daily Statesman, April 24, 1892, 8.Advertisements for W. S. Campbell and Campbell & Hodgson, Idaho Daily Statesman, 1892. Campbell's independent works include the Turner Hotel (1899) and the Idanha Hotel (1901).

In 1901 Campbell, in association with two contractors, was awarded the contract to build the new Boise federal building."Idaho's Chief City Improves," Idaho Daily Statesman, September 1, 1901, 5. In 1902, while construction of the federal building was ongoing, he formed the partnership of Campbell & Wayland with Charles W. Wayland, a drafter in his office. Work on the federal building progressed slowly, and by 1904 the project was a year behind schedule. In March of that year Campbell left on a planned business trip regarding the federal building, but vanished and was presumed missing. Two weeks later he turned up in Scotland with no plans to return.Rick Just, "[https://www.rickjust.com/blog/a-mysterious-disappearance A Mysterious Disappearance]," Speaking of Idaho, February 22, 2021. Accessed August 3, 2024. Wayland dissolved the partnership and formed that of Wayland & Fennell with James A. Fennell.

As years passed and more architects joined the firm, the name changed to reflect the additional partners. In 1979, it was known as Cline Smull Hamill Quintieri Associates and in 1985 it was shortened to CSHQA.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cshqa.com/history.php?page=2 |title=CSHQA Architecture, Engineering, Planning, Boise Idaho |access-date=2009-02-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081229231910/http://www.cshqa.com/history.php?page=2 |archive-date=2008-12-29 |url-status=dead }}

In addition to the Boise headquarters, the firm has offices in Sacramento, Denver and Dallas.

Innovation and sustainable design

CSHQA has been a leader in energy efficiency since the 1970s, receiving recognition for Boise's Amity Elementary School, which appeared on a 1979 cover of Time for its forward-thinking design. This earth-covered school is situated above ground but covered by {{convert|2|ft|1}} of earth, with lawn and shrubs growing on top. Solar panels and other energy-efficient elements were also included in the design.[http://mountainstates.construction.com/people/2009/1201_CSHQA-Architects-2.asp Mountain States Construction]

In 1985, the firm received international acclaim for building the energy-efficient Liberty Elementary School in Boise introduced energy-saving concepts such as solar energy and controllable electronics that took advantage of daylighting. The revolutionary design also entailed berming the earth up to the window sills to conserve energy needed for heating and cooling the building.[http://mountainstates.construction.com/people/2009/1201_CSHQA-Architects-2.asp Mountain States Construction]

CSHQA began membership in the U.S. Green Building Council in 2001. Some of the firm's LEED Certified projects include the Chobani Office Building and Global R&D Center, the CSHQA Boise headquarters, and the Klamath Falls Armed Forces Reserve Center.[http://mountainstates.construction.com/people/2009/1201_CSHQA-Architects-2.asp Mountain States Construction]

CSHQA has also designed several Whole Foods Markets which have been awarded Green Globes by the Green Building Initiative.[http://www.gourmetretailer.com/top-story-retailing-whole_foods_recognized_for_building_excellence-11147.html Gourmet Retailer]

Legacy

Partner biographies

=W. S. Campbell=

William Stewart Campbell (1857 – January 14, 1930) was born in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. He was educated at the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, later incorporated into the Edinburgh College of Art. He began his career in Canada, later working in Saint Paul and Denver before establishing himself in Boise in 1889. At the time, the only other architect in practice there was James King."Aged Postmaster at Port Mann Dies While Getting Into His Car," The Daily Province, January 15, 1930, 18."Pioneer Boise Architect Dies," The Idaho Statesman, February 9, 1930, 2.

A few years after his return to Scotland, Campbell moved to Edmonton, Alberta, where he initially resumed the practice of architecture, but was discouraged by the cold winters. In 1908 he moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where he gave up practice and became involved in the dry goods business. In 1912 he was appointed postmaster at Port Mann, where he settled. In the latter years of his life he planned to reestablish his business connections in Boise, where his son had settled. Campbell was married to Minnie Campbell in 1888 in Saint Paul. They had one son, born in Denver."Mrs. Minnie Campbell," Idaho Daily Statesman, May 2, 1962, 14. Campbell died in Port Mann at the age of 72. He was buried in Boise.

=Charles W. Wayland=

Charles William Wayland {{post-nominals|list=AIA}} (December 8, 1873 – December 9, 1953) was born in Boston. His family moved to Duluth, Minnesota when he was fourteen years old. He was educated in the Duluth public schools and worked as a drafter in Duluth and Butte, Montana until 1900, when he joined Campbell's office in Boise.{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/historyofidahon02fren#page/641/ |title=History of Idaho: a narrative account of its historical progress ... |page=641 |author=Hiram Taylor French |publisher=Lewis Publishing Company |date=1914 |accessdate=2018-08-27}}"C. W. Wayland, Architect, Dies in Boise," The Idaho Daily Statesman, December 10, 1953, 16.

Wayland was a member of local fraternal organizations and of the American Institute of Architects, which he joined in 1952, the year after a local chapter was established. Wayland was married to Daisy McConnell in 1903, with whom he had two children, both sons. He died in Boise at the age of 80.

=James A. Fennell=

James Alfred Fennell (October 2, 1874 – December 31, 1941) was born in Linden, California. He was educated at the California School of Design, the predecessor of the San Francisco Art Institute. He worked as a drafter for architects Alexander F. Oakey in San Francisco and William White in Butte, Montana until 1900, when he formed the partnership of Fennell & Gove in Butte with George Gove. This was dissolved in 1903 and Fennell practiced independently in Butte until 1904, when he joined Wayland in Boise.{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/historyofidahon02fren#page/718/ |title=History of Idaho: a narrative account of its historical progress ... |page=718 |author=Hiram Taylor French |publisher=Lewis Publishing Company |date=1914 |accessdate=2018-08-27}}"James Fennell Dies in Boise," The Idaho Daily Statesman, December 31, 1941, 1.

Like Wayland, Fennell was a member of the local fraternal organizations. He was also interested in the development of the arts in Boise. He was an amateur artist and in 1931 was among the founders of the Boise Art Association. He was responsible for the design of its building, the Boise Gallery of Art (1937), now the Boise Art Museum. He was married twice, first to Beulah D. Browning and second to Ernestine Hill. He had no children. He died in Boise at the age of 67.
