Architectural Firm Changes Name to Include Its Founder

Woodford & Bernard Architects, with offices in San Diego and Los Angeles, has changed its name to Woodford Parkinson Wynn & Partners.

The firm title now includes the surname of its founder, John Parkinson, and his son, Donald Parkinson, whose projects include such Los Angeles landmarks as City Hall, the Coliseum, Union Station and the Bullocks Wilshire building.

Following Donald Parkinson’s death, C. Day Woodford led the firm for 43 years until his retirement in 1983. H. Douglas Wynn, who became senior partner and chief executive in 1980, continues to head the 99-year-old firm.
