Milwaukee-based Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) is acquiring Denver-based architecture and interior design firm Burkettdesign. With more than 180 employees across three offices in Wisconsin and Iowa, EUA will be joined by the 27 employees of Burkettdesign’s Denver office, which will change its name to BurkettEUA.

“For over 25 years, Burkettdesign has set the standard for design services in Colorado, and we are thrilled to add that experience and expertise to EUA,” said Greg Uhen, CEO of EUA. “Combining our core strengths in ground-up architecture in the industries of urban redevelopment and mixed-use, workplace, healthcare, education, senior living and science + technology with Burkettdesign’s exemplary corporate design, high tech lab, aerospace and data center expertise will make EUA even stronger in Colorado and nationally.”

EUA is a 110-year old design and architecture firm that specializes in education, workplace, healthcare, and mixed-use projects, with clients that include GE Healthcare, Ascension, Baird, and Northwestern Mutual. Founded in 1990, Burkettdesign’s clients include Comcast, Janus Capital Group, Lockheed Martin, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and Sierra Nevada Corporation.
