Don Stanley founded Stantec in 1954 as a one-person environmental engineering firm in a small office in Edmonton, Alberta. Today, it has grown into the fourth-ranked firm on our annual list of Midwest Top Design Firms with $281.3 million in regional revenue.
Now a full-service architecture, engineering and consulting services firm, Stantec has strong revenue in all 11 states in the Midwest region and boasts a client list that includes being a consulting engineer to small towns and counties as well as big cities. It is also the go-to architect for large, multinational corporations such as Walgreens, individuals such as George Lucas and families like the Ricketts, who own the Chicago Cubs. For these and other reasons, Stantec has been named ENR Midwest’s Design Firm of the Year for 2021.
