You may not know the name Quinn Evans Architects, but you know their buildings – the Wayne County Courthouse restoration, the Motown Museum, the Graphic Arts Building restoration and the Inn on Ferry Street restoration are just a few of the firm’s high-visibility projects.
With a full slate of new projects lined up for 2008, the firm is growing, says Ken Clein, a principal in Ann Arbor-based Quinn Evans.
"We’re doing a large project for the city of Ann Arbor, a couple of projects in Detroit and we’re doing a large project for Zingerman's Delicatessen," Clein says. "We found ourselves at a point needed to hire."
Since Nov. 1, the firm has hired three staff members for a total of 31, Clein says, and are hiring up to two more in the near future.
Most of the firm’s open positions are architectural jobs.
The growth, Clein says, is "basically to handle our current workload for next 12 to 18 months, which is about as good as it gets in architecture – it’s a very volatile profession."
