History
The history of Perkins Eastman goes back more than a century, when Co-Founder and Chairman Brad Perkins' grandfather, Dwight Heald Perkins, started an architecture firm in 1897.[2] Dwight later received commissions for the design of two universities in China. Brad's father, Lawrence Bradford Perkins, would go on to form to the global firm Perkins+Will.[3] Bradford Perkins met his future Perkins Eastman co-founder, Mary-Jean Eastman, in the late 1970s when they were both working on New York City's bid to host the 1984 Summer Olympics -- Perkins was with the joint venture of Davis Brody and Llewelyn-Davies International while Eastman was working in tandem for the State of New York. When Los Angeles won the bid, Eastman went to work for Davis Brody briefly, while Perkins joined Perkins&Will in 1977 as the managing principal of its East Coast offices. Eastman followed Perkins there in 1978 as the studio leader of its New York office.[4]
In 1981, Perkins and Eastman left Perkins&Will and partnered with Eli Attia to form Attia & Perkins.[5] In 1984, Perkins bought out Attia's interest and reorganizes the firm as Bradford Perkins & Associates. By 1985, Perkins and Eastman partnered with Barbara Geddis, and the name changed to Perkins Geddis Eastman. Geddis stepped down in 1991, and the firm became Perkins Eastman.
By offering architecture, interior design, planning, and strategic consulting services, the firm has grown to more than 1,000 employees and 22 studios around the world. Its commissions have spanned more than 60 countries and won more than 800 awards along the way. [6] Practice areas of the firm include: arts & culture; commercial/office; government; healthcare; higher education; historic renovation and adaptive reuse; hospitality, K-12 education, large-scale mixed-use; libraries; residential; retail and entertainment; science and technology; senior living; sports and exhibition; and transportation and infrastructure.[7]
Leadership
In addition to Bradford Perkins and Mary-Jean Eastman, the firm is led by other Principals and Executive Directors: CEOs Andrew Adelhardt, Shawn Basler, and Nicholas Leahy; CFO Paul Grillo; and executive directors Jeffrey Brand; Erich A. Burkhart; and Jason Haim. [8]
On January 25, 2019, the company named Basler, Leahy, and General Counsel Andrew Adelhardt III as co-CEOs.[9]
