The principals of Stanley Beaman & Sears have a shared vision that has developed over the course of a 30-year friendship and professional association. With a collaborative working style and an appetite for innovation, they started the firm to focus on unique or pioneering projects in healthcare, higher education and the arts—building types that, in their view, represented “civilization’s great institutions”. Stanley Beaman & Sears is unique in that the principals work collaboratively with their staff on each project from start to finish, focusing on function, form and technical issues respectively. Their level of personal involvement is unique in the industry. Accordingly, Stanley Beaman & Sears has attracted a “family of creative thinkers” to collaborate in the design and execution of these special projects, focusing on a handful of select clients whose projects receive the firm’s best ideas and undivided attention. Often characterized as a “big idea” firm, their strength lies in their ability to forge creative partnerships, and collaborate with clients in the exploration and achievement of their facility goals. The creative talent that makes up the professional staff includes a diverse group of architects, interior designers and graphic designers, many of whom have additional degrees in Business, Fine Arts, Mathematics, Physics or Information Technology. Their collective experience, versatility and technical depth have consistently resulted in innovative and award-winning projects. The work of Stanley Beaman & Sears has been featured in such diverse publications as Architectural Record, Contract Design Magazine, Modern Healthcare and The Wall Street Journal
