Katerra and Michael Green Architecture Inc. (MGA) recently announced a partnership today that underscores an evolution in the design and construction industries. The two companies share the same vision for the future in which quality and efficiency align with reducing costs and affordability, from initial design, through the life of the building. This new partnership will bring together technology, manufacturing, and design excellence to offer more sustainable, cost effective, and elegant architecture options to North American and global markets.
The MGA leadership team will remain unchanged and continue to provide their clients with thoughtful and sustainable solutions of all scales and typologies.
