Perkins+Will Acquires
The Freelon Group
Architecture and design firm Perkins+Will is acquiring The Freelon
Group, founded in 1990 by Phil Freelon, FAIA (above), Contract's 2008
Designer of the Year. Freelon is a past recipient of the AIA's Thomas
Jefferson Award for Public Architecture, and was appointed by
President Obama to serve on the National Commission of Fine Arts.
The Freelon Group, based in Durham, North Carolina, has more
than 40 employees and is best known for its design excellence and
consulting work with museums, libraries, universities, and other civic
and institutional clients. The Freelon Group is architect of record for the
Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History

D.C., with an expected opening in late 2015.
Perkins+Will already has offices in Research Triangle Park and
Charlotte, North Carolina, with projects for healthcare, science and
technology, education, corporate, commercial, civic, and cultural clients.
Perkins+Will employees in the Research Triangle Park office will
relocate to The Freelon Group's office.
In a joint statement, Freelon said, "By joining Perkins+Will, we can
offer our clients in North Carolina and around the world a full spectrum
of services for just about any type of project. The firms are ideally
matched as we share a dedication to design excellence and
commitment to social responsibility." -John CzarneCki
