About the practice

NBBJ is a different kind of design practice, one that helps our clients drive innovation by creating highly productive, sustainable spaces that free people to live, learn, work and play. The world’s leading organisations look to our experts to help them design environments that disrupt the status quo and effect real, meaningful change at all levels. Our clients include institutional leaders such as the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester, Queen Mary and Stanford, the Pirbright Institute and The Wellcome Trust. We partner with like-minded companies including GlaxoSmithKline, Abcam, Google, Amazon, Samsung and Microsoft. Founded in 1943, NBBJ has locations in London, Boston, Columbus, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Pune, San Francisco, Seattle, Shanghai and Washington DC. Our global network of teams includes architects, lab planners, nurses, anthropologists, master planners and interior designers who generate ideas that have a profound and lasting impact. NBBJ’s London Studio was established in 2001 specialising in science, research, higher education, healthcare, workplace and interior design. We excel at generating distinctive, contemporary and sustainable buildings including those with complex technical briefs.
