A leading landscape architecture, urban design and planning firm is laying roots in Omaha. Confluence (www.ThinkConfluence.com) has hired industry veteran Dolores Silkworth, PLA, ASLA to lead the company’s new Nebraska office.

Confluence has been working in Nebraska for 15 years, and as demand steadily grew for their services it became clear that a permanent presence was needed. Silkworth was the ideal fit, and brings 30 years of experience providing landscape architecture, urban design and master planning services to clients throughout the Midwest.

Recent Confluence projects in the Cornhusker state include the Lincoln Children’s Zoo expansion, the University of Nebraska – Lincoln’s East Campus Residence Hall and the school’s 17th Street Dining Center. With a full-time leader in the market, the firm has plans to hire six to eight additional professional design and planning team members over the next five years. Confluence is in the process of evaluating several alternative locations in the downtown Omaha area for its new office.

Confluence has grown to become one of the largest landscape architecture and planning firms in the country. Nebraska is now the fifth state where the firm has a full-time presence. Other offices can be found in Des Moines, IA; Kansas City, MO; Sioux Falls, SD; Cedar Rapids, IA; Minneapolis, MN.
