Ackerley-LDA Architecture
Joint Venture

Ackerley-LDA Architecture is a new firm with old roots. It is a marriage of 20 years of expertise in medical facilities planning and design of Jennings Ackerley Architecture with 59 years of design-build sensibilities and cost management proficiencies of LDA Architects. Together, we offer the medical community and their capable builders a unique resource for assistance in planning, budgeting and engineering modern health care facilities.

Ackerley-LDA is the merger of two San Francisco based architecture firms, Jennings-Ackerley architecture+design and LDA Architects Inc., to provide highly specialized design and design-build architecture and engineering services to the health care and biosciences industries. Ackerley LDA brings over 80 years of combined expertise in the provision of award-winning medical facilities planning and architectural services for clients that have inlcuded Kaiser Permanente, Stanford, CPMC, and UCSF.

“Demand for quality design-build architectural services for health care projects is at an all time high,” says Tom Lee managing partner of Ackerley-LDA, “and with a growing need for more efficient outpatient and emergency services, it’s critical in this downward economy to have predictable costs early in the design process which includes having contractors involved at the beginning of the project."

"Our approach to design has always been from the inside out,” adds Charles Ackerley, Design Partner. “Buildings that provide welcoming and efficient environments benefit the patients, as well as the staff. As for facility upgrades, outdated buildings usually have much wasted space and cannot accommodate new technology. We incorporate sustainable design into all of our projects."
