Oregon native Dave Hurley put his architecture education to work directly in the field, first as a framer then as a general contractor, founding his own design and contracting company while still in architecture school. As a co-founder of Architecture Office, Dave brings extensive experience in the fields of design and construction, responsible for a variety of building projects including floating structures, arts installations, single and multi-family residences, collegiate athletic facilities, restaurants, and spas. He has served on juries at the University of Oregon and Portland State University, before joining the faculty at P.S.U. as an adjunct design studio professor.  Dave's innate talent for leadership and inclination toward entrepreneurial management is proven by his status as business-owner for the overwhelming majority of his career, most recently at Design Office LLC, in partnership with Garrett Martin. 

Dave is a Registered Architect in the state of Oregon, and a graduate of University of Oregon's School of Architecture and Allied Arts, receiving his Bachelor of Architecture in 1994.
