Lord, Aeck & Sargent acquired TWC Architects, an Austin, Texas-based full-service architecture firm specializing in historic preservation and building restoration. Through access to TWC’s statewide network of longstanding client relationships, the acquisition provides LAS a strategic growth opportunity in a geographical area where it has been active for several years.
In turn, TWC, now operating as Lord, Aeck & Sargent, gains an opportunity to pursue historic preservation projects in two new arenas – higher education and federal agencies – where LAS is already very strong. BD+C
