Kimmel Bogrette Welcomes Partnership with Architecture Veteran

With much anticipation, Kimmel Bogrette Architecture + Site welcomes Robert Reid as a new firm Associate and Director of Planning, forging a partnership that merges Reid's firm, ELEVATE architects+collaborators, into Kimmel Bogrette and "elevates" the portfolio of the combined firms to one that includes an even greater depth of projects for higher education institutions, cultural and civic organizations, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, as well as commercial and corporate clients.

The partnership is expected to further strengthen Kimmel Bogrette's reputation as an architectural success story and one of the Philadelphia Business Journal's Top 25 Architecture Firms for the last several years. Since its founding, Kimmel Bogrette has focused on creating "Extraordinary Solutions for Ordinary Budgets" which translates for each client into design excellence coupled with fiscal responsibility and a focus on the mission and success of the client organization.

Bob Reid says, "After exploring numerous architectural firms in the area, I was thrilled to find in Kimmel Bogrette the rare combination of design excellence, fiscal responsibility and a deep-seated desire to help clients succeed through the use of the built environment. I am excited to be working with Martin and Jim. "

Jim Bogrette says, "When we first spoke with Bob It was amazing to hear the similarities between our respective firms in terms of territory and type of clients, and how we both strive to holistically fulfill our clients' goals. It was serendipitous that we reconnected since Bob, Martin and I were all in Architecture School at Temple University more than 20 years ago. Because of this personal connection, I've kept track of Bob's professional growth and beautiful architectural solutions. I'm really glad to have one less competitor out there and to have him on our team!"
