New technology is fertile ground for Alex’s unique balance of adaptable and innovative engineering style. He’s an extremely effective engineer and versatile designer and has emerged as one of PCS’s cross-laminated timber (CLT) specialists, pioneering detail solutions and helping to bring CLT into prominence in the Pacific Northwest. He currently serves on the AIA Mass Timber and SEAW Earthquake Engineering Committees. In addition, Alex serves on the A4LE Board and leads PCS’s Public Markets team, bringing a focus to PCS’s educational expertise.
Alex grew up singing and has traveled the world performing with choirs and barbershop quartets. Music is central to Legé family life, and singing and playing together is a natural expression of Alex sharing who he is with his loved ones.
“Mass timber piqued my interest because it’s attempting to resolve some pressing challenges in our profession. The engineered materials composing mass timber are relatively new with design methods being developed at an incredible pace. We need to change our construction methods and materials to reflect deep environmental challenges and community resilience. This is an exciting, new technology. For it to be successful, there has to be strong collaboration between engineers, designers and manufacturers.”
