BBS Architects|Engineers

We are thrilled to be working on this project with Iowa State University! This facility is sure to be a wonderful addition to the campus and an incredible resource for the students. The opportunity to design the newest addition to this complex is a great honor, adding to HNSB designed by BBS in 1990 and MacKay hall designed by BBS predecessor Proudfoot & Bird in 1910!

What a transformation! It was great to get to work on this design and collaborate with The Smith Law Firm and Weston Companies.

We may find ourselves finally being able to start enjoying this great weather. No perfect place than the new EMC Park! Architects: BBS Architects|Engineers Contractor: Neumann Brothers Landscape: Confluence #architecturephotography #iaarchitects #desmoinesarchitecture #emc

We were honored to host the Young Professionals Connection at our office last week to share a behind-the-scenes look at the AEC industry and how great teamwork leads to great projects, like the brand new EMC Downtown Park! We found a break in the rain to go out and see the park after a presentation on the project's life. Thank you to YPC for organizing the event, it was a pleasure to have all of you!
