DLR Group is an employee-owned integrated design firm providing architecture, engineering, planning, and interior design. Their brand promise is to elevate the human experience through design. A self-described advocate for sustainable design, the firm was an early adopter of the Architecture 2030 Challenge, and an initial signatory to the AIA 2030 Commitment and the China Accord.

History

DLR Group, named for architects Irving Dana, Bill Larson, and engineer Jim Roubal, was founded on April 1, 1966, in Omaha, Nebraska, as Dana Larson Roubal and Associates, after leaving Leo A Daly to start their own firm. The name was changed to DLR Group in 1996.

The company has carried out a series of acquisitions, including purchases of Lescher & Mahoney of Phoenix in 1974; John Graham and Co. of Seattle, architects behind the Space Needle, in 1986; Newman, Cavendar & Doane of Denver in 2007; KKE Architects of Minneapolis, who were involved in the construction of Mall of America, WWCOT of Los Angeles in 2010; and Sorg Architects of Washington, D.C., in 2015. In the summer of 2021, the company added healthcare focused firms Salus Architecture in Seattle, and Wright McGraw Beyers Architects in Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as K12 focused firms BakerNowicki Design Studio in San Diego, California, and Bowie Gridley Architects in Washington, D.C. Currently, the firm has 30 locations across the globe.

In 1978, DLR Group implemented an employee stock ownership program, which resulted in the firm becoming 100% employee owned in 2005.

The firm is currently led by CEO Steven McKay, RIBA.
