Baton Rouge-based architecture and design firm GraceHebert Architects has acquired HMS Architects of New Orleans for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition will provide new growth opportunities for both firms, says Jerry Hebert, president of GraceHebert Architects, which announced the deal this morning.
The Baton Rouge firm will increase in size to 40 employees as a result of the acquisition. It also has immediate plans to begin hiring in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
“The GraceHebert partnership provides HMS Architects with a boost in resources and staff to continue to serve our clients in the elite manner they have come to expect,” says HMS Architects Principal Keith Steger.
HMS Architects was founded in 1996 and has historically focused on projects in the performing arts, hospitality, education and industrial design. GraceHebert Architects was founded in 1967.
