It's just what the doctor ordered--after collaborating for more than three years on the design of Massachusetts General Hospital's new 530,000-square-foot Building for the Third Century, A&D firms NBBJ and Chan Krieger Sieniewicz are merging.
An integrated team of 700-plus architects, urban designers, planners and interior designers emerges as Seattle-based NBBJ, a global architecture and design firm with offices in cities including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, London, Beijing, Shanghai, and Dubai, joins with Chan Krieger Sieniewicz, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based urban design and architecture specialist.
The Chan Krieger Sieniewicz team, including its five principals, will remain in their current roles, and their Cambridge office will operate as Chan Krieger NBBJ during the transition. The move is expected to give NBBJ, which already operates a project office in Boston, a larger presence in New England.
"We were initially brought together with NBBJ when MGH suggested we team up and combine what the client saw as complementary abilities," says Alex Krieger, founding principal of Chan Krieger Sieniewicz. "As we worked with our colleagues at NBBJ, we realized we shared the same values and studio culture, only on a different scale."
"We came to realize the value we could provide to clients by combining the strengths of both organizations," adds NBBJ managing partner Scott Wyatt. "NBBJ is known for our deep market experience in healthcare, education, corporate, and commercial design. Chan Krieger Sieniewicz is known in Boston and internationally for its world-class depth in architecture and urban design. Integrating this experience advances what we can together offer clients."
