Pfeiffer’s planners, architects, and interior designers create built environments that celebrate the arts, inspire learning, and enrich communities. Our strengths lie in the cohesion of our teams and the breadth of our combined capabilities in master planning, programming, architecture, and interior design. We focus on new and existing educational and cultural buildings for non-profit, private, and public clients.

The firm was founded as Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates in 1967, which became Pfeiffer Partners Architects in 2004 and merged with Perkins Eastman in 2021. Over more than a half century of working within a spirit of collaborative and contextual placemaking, our projects have been grounded in response to our clients’ ideas, site conditions, historic considerations, sustainability, and functional requirements.

We have earned nearly 300 local and national awards that recognize our work in the performing arts; museums; libraries and innovation centers; historic and existing building renovation and reuse; and academic and student-life buildings on college and university campuses across the country and abroad.
