HGA

HGA is an architecture, engineering, and planning firm founded in 1953 and headquartered in Minneapolis, with a national practice in healthcare, arts, and academic buildings. The firm won an international competition to design UPMC’s $1.5 billion Presbyterian tower in Pittsburgh, a 17-story, 636-room hospital that is the largest healthcare project in Pennsylvania, working with local firms IKM and Architectural Innovations. HGA integrates building design with structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering under one roof, which suits the coordination demands of complex hospitals and labs. It works for health systems, universities, and cultural institutions across the country.
