Aeterna Group Launches National Architecture and Engineering Platform Through Partnership of Five Established Firms
Aeterna Group, supported by Signal Hill Equity Partners, has officially launched as a new national architecture and engineering firm, bringing together more than 230 design professionals from five respected companies across the United States. The newly formed organization combines the expertise, regional knowledge, and long-standing reputations of CSArch, ZMM Architects and Engineers, Kluber Architects + Engineers, KGD Architecture, and Omni Associates Architects.
The launch represents a significant step forward for the five firms, each of which has developed decades of experience delivering design solutions for communities, institutions, businesses, and public organizations. While joining under the Aeterna Group umbrella, each firm will maintain its individual identity, local presence, and established client relationships while gaining access to broader resources, expanded capabilities, and collaborative opportunities.
The companies involved include CSArch of Albany, New York; ZMM Architects and Engineers of Charleston, West Virginia; Kluber Architects + Engineers of Aurora, Illinois; KGD Architecture of Washington, D.C.; and Omni Associates Architects of Fairmont, West Virginia. Together, they create a wider platform capable of serving clients across multiple markets while preserving the local expertise that has defined each organization.
“Aeterna Group is a collective of firms with decades of experience, trusted relationships, and proven results,” said Adam Krason, President of Aeterna Group. “Our clients will continue to work with the same professionals they know and trust. Aeterna Group will carry on the legacy of these firms and, together, will be able to provide clients with more support on their projects and in their communities than ever before.”
The foundation of Aeterna Group is built around a shared belief that the built environment plays an important role in shaping communities.
