Berners Schober is a full-service architectural, engineering and interior design firm, founded in 1898. Our work covers medical, educational, municipal, recreational, religious and commercial facilities.
Our skilled personnel and breadth or experience enables us to tackle projects of various sizes and complexity. We take a client-focused approach, choosing to build relationships and lasting partnerships above all else.
design with integrity & purpose
Good architecture is designed for the past, present and future. It enhances its surroundings. It brings out the best in its occupants. And it lasts through unlimited uses.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards because good architecture pushes boundaries. It takes the right risks, and it changes the way we think about a building.
That being said, cleverness and ingenuity are only possible when they grow from a solid foundation. Knowing what’s realistic, what people want, and what will help them thrive forms every decision we make.
design to adapt, build to last
We measure our success on the impact our buildings have in their communities. They are places to heal. Places to worship. Places to socialize. Places to work. Places to learn. We’ve been given many awards and accolades, but our greatest honor is being able to positively impact people’s lives through architecture.
