Stantec Buildings is on a mission to become the world’s leading integrated design practice. Our architects, engineers, interior designers, sustainability specialists, and technologists are passionate about the power of design. We take an innovative, collaborative approach to projects, sharing a common belief that sustainable design for the built environment can make the world a better place for future generations.

We could design buildings just because we can, but we’d rather create places that inspire. Through our Architecture, Interior Design and Landscape Architecture work, we challenge design ideas of the past to create spaces and destinations that foster a culture of collaboration—spaces that are designed for community. 

We believe good design extends beyond the physical elements of a space—good design shapes our lives, influences our behaviors and interactions, and has purpose. We strive to design spaces that are meaningful and memorable for our communities. Join our team of creative professionals and work with us to create inspiring spaces for all.
