By Brian Staton, CEO of HMC Architects

On behalf of HMC, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Beverly Prior, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C, to president of the firm! Beverly and I will operate in a dual leadership structure. She will be responsible for the growth, strategy and development of the core practices at HMC, and I will continue to be responsible for the business operations and management of the firm.

With more than 30 years of experience, Beverly is a proven collaborative leader and has built a solid reputation in partnering with clients in the strategic planning and design of educational, civic and justice facilities. She brings to the position leadership experience that is rooted in developing a unified vision, team building and driving toward excellence. In 1986, Beverly founded Beverly Prior Architects, a nationally renowned architectural firm. She served as president of Beverly Prior Architects for 25 years until 2011 when the firm merged with HMC. Since joining HMC, she has been a visible leader within the firm, serving as the civic/justice practice leader and chair of the firm’s Practice Forum, which oversees our four core practices of civic/justice, healthcare, higher education and K–12 across nine offices. We are very excited to have Beverly on board as president.
