HGA offices across the country have been busy this year. We welcomed a new office in San Diego, received WELL Health-Safety certifications in Minneapolis and Sacramento, and signed a new lease in Washington, D.C. We also celebrated anniversaries in both Milwaukee and San Jose with 35 years and 50 years in business.
HGA Strengthens California Presence with a New Office in San Diego
In March 2022, HGA announced the opening of our 12th office to accommodate the firm’s growing portfolio and reaffirm its commitment to the region. The new office strengthens HGA’s robust California practice, joining four other offices in the state—Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco and San Jose. The new office serves local clients across multiple markets, including Arts & Culture, Community, Corporate, Healthcare, Higher Education, and Science & Technology.
HGA Minneapolis and Sacramento Achieve WELL Health-Safety Rating
HGA’s commitment to employee and client wellbeing is demonstrated through the WELL Health-Safety Rating by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) achieved by our Minneapolis and Sacramento offices in August. All HGA offices are expected to achieve the WELL Health-Safety Rating in the near future. We view sustainable practices within our own buildings and operations as equal in importance to bringing a sustainable lens to every client project.
HGA Relocating to Historic Woodies Building in Downtown D.C.’s Penn Quarter
In September, HGA signed a new lease to move its D.C. Metro region headquarters to the historic Woodies Building in the Penn Quarter. HGA will occupy 17,000 square feet on the building’s second floor, located directly above Metrorail’s Metro Center station. The D.C. studio offers services in architecture, engineering (MEP, structural, fire protection), interior design, lighting design, and workplace design. HGA will maintain a studio in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia to continue to best serve our long-standing and developing client relationships in the region.
HGA Celebrates 35th Anniversary in Milwaukee
HGA is proud to celebrate its 35th Anniversary in Milwaukee. As part of this momentous year, the Mayor of Milwaukee officially proclaimed October 6, 2022 “HGA Day.” Located in the renovated Marine Terminal Building overlooking the Milwaukee River in the Historic Third Ward, HGA Milwaukee has grown into one of the largest architecture and engineering firms in Wisconsin since opening in 1987, and currently has more than 230 employees.
HGA San Jose Celebrates 50 Years in Silicon Valley
In October 2022, HGA’s San Jose office celebrated a landmark milestone—50 years of designing spaces for leading start-up and technology companies in California’s Silicon Valley. The San Jose practice, founded as ReelGrobman & Associates, has rapidly evolved alongside the world-famous region, and its designers have had a hand in some of the most influential office projects in the area since 1972.
