DLR Group is an architectural design firm providing architecture, engineering, planning, and interior design to clients throughout the United States. The firm's focus is corporate (mixed-use, hospitality, and workplace), higher education, K-12 education, justice (courts, civic spaces, and detention), and sports design.
DLR Group was founded in 1966 as Dana Larson and Roubal and Associates. The founders were Irv Dana and Bill Larson, both architects, and engineer Jim Roubal.[1]
The firm has 21 offices in the United States and an office in Shanghai, China. In February 2010, DLR Group merged Southern California-based design firm WWCOT into the firm. The transaction added DLR Group office locations in Los Angeles, Modesto, Palm Springs, and Riverside, and the office in Shanghai. The former WWCOT locations operate as DLR Group WWCOT.[2] In July, DLR Group announced the acquisition of Minneapolis-based design firm KKE Architects. KKE offices in Minneapolis, Las Vegas, Tucson, and Pasadena, Calif., were merged into the firm and operate as DLR Group KKE.[3]
Architect magazine ranked DLR Group 3rd on its 2010 "Architect 50" ranking of U.S. firms, which measures "ecological commitment and design quality" as well as profitability.[4] In its January 2010 rankings, United Kingdom based BD World Architecture ranked DLR Group's Criminal Justice practice #1 in the world and its Education practice #3 as measured by 2009 income. Overall, DLR Group ranked 31st in the world as measured by the number of fee-earning architects employed.[5] DLR Group also ranks as the 31st largest firm in America by revenue according to Architectural Record.[6]
DLR Group is a member firm of Architecture 2030 and supports the 2030 Challenge. The firm also is a signatory of the American Institute of Architects’ 2030 Commitment.[7]
