We are incredibly proud to share that SS&L Architects has been named the #1 Best Architecture Firm to Work For in the United States for the second year in a row! This back-to-back recognition is a reflection of who we are, how we work, and the people who make SS&L what it is every day.
In 1977, our founders solidified the firm’s commitment to The Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Since then, our focus has always remained the same: create an environment where our team feels valued and empowered to do their best work, serving our fellow man.
This recognition has been made by Best Companies Group, an independent research firm, which conducted a comprehensive survey of SS&L employees assessing key aspects of workplace culture across seven structured sections. Additionally, the firm’s HR policies factored into the score.
Being named the #1 firm to work for is especially meaningful because it speaks to our culture. Collaboration is not a buzzword at SS&L, but it’s how we operate. We listen and learn continuously, and rely on one another’s strengths to deliver thoughtful solutions for our clients. From mentoring young professionals to supporting long-term career growth, we believe investing in our people is essential to our success.
This recognition also reflects the trust and commitment of our 50-person team across six office locations. With 500+ years of combined experience, our staff brings both deep expertise and fresh perspective to every project. As we continue to grow, including the recent expansion of our Birmingham, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida offices, our priority remains fostering a workplace where individuals can thrive while contributing to something larger than themselves.
We are grateful to our clients and partners who challenge us, inspire us, and allow us to do meaningful work in the communities we serve. Most of all, we thank our employees—the architects, designers, planners, and support staff—whose dedication, integrity, and passion define SS&L Architects.
Two years. One team. And a shared commitment to excellence and design. We couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
