Manley Spangler Smith Architects is proud to announce the merger of our firm with PBK Architects, a large, national firm that specializes in educational facilities.

Our newly combined firm will be known in Georgia as MSSA-PBK and our offices will remain in Griffin and Sugar Hill. V. Smith and the entire MSSA management team and staff will remain in place.

“This merger of PBK and MSSA is a significant opportunity, not only for our firms but more importantly, for the clients we serve,” said V. Smith, MSSA-PBK Partner. MSSA-PBK will have the resources and capabilities to provide our clients the expertise of a large firm, delivered with the intimacy of a smaller, local firm.
