In 1977-1978, several developments occurred for the firm, including retired and newly appointed principals, a newly affirmed philosophy and corresponding company logo, an extended emphasis on communication, and a brand new office with many personalized changes to how the employees would go about their work.[[#References|[12:79-81][13]]]

The Clark Enersen Partners, Architects was the successor firm to Clark & Enersen, Hamersky, Schlaebitz, Burroughs & Thomsen, Architects, and the final and permanent name change for the firm that was founded in 1946. In 1977-1978, several developments occurred for the firm, including retired and newly appointed principals, a newly affirmed philosophy and corresponding company logo, an extended emphasis on communication, and a brand new office with many personalized changes to how the employees would go about their work.[12:79-81][13]

Notes

a. Designed by Lawrence A. Enersen.[6]

b. In association with Davis Fenton Stange Darling, Architects. [10]

c. Project completed by Davis, Clark & Associates, a joint firm of Davis & Wilson and Clark & Enersen, Olsson, Burroughs & Thomsen, Architects. [12:24]

d. Because both Davis & Wilson, Architects and Clark & Enersen, Olsson, Burroughs & Thomsen, Architects submitted proposals for the Lincoln Air Terminal, the two firms joined together at this time to provide “construction projects of larger magnitude.”[12:24]

e. At the age of 68 in 1977, Enersen had to retire from the Board of Directors, but continued on staff as head of landscape architecture until his death in 1983.[12:77]

f. This preliminary design was worked on by The Delas Corporation, which included a Illinois firm, Wight & Company, and Clark Enersen Partners.

g. To accomplish large projects in the state of Colorado, The Clark Enersen Partners joined forces with Clapsaddle & Pond, Architects, a firm that Colorado-based C&E employee Alfons Hamersky knew well enough to help arrange. The two firms, when joined together in 1978, worked under a new entity that was named Jeffco.
