BOULDER, Colo. — Architecture and design firm Boulder Associates has rebranded as BA, adopting a single national brand across its nine offices and naming Melissa Pesci as its first CEO.
Founded in Boulder in 1983, the firm has expanded to offices in Boulder, Charlotte, Dallas, Los Angeles, Orange County, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Francisco and Seattle.
The rebranding follows BA’s 2023 acquisition of SABA, which expanded the firm’s services into workplace and science and technology design. BA now serves the healthcare, science and technology, workplace, senior living and education sectors.
“I see tremendous opportunity to bring alignment across our teams and clients nationwide, and to build on the strong foundation already in place,” Pesci said.
The firm said the new name reflects its national operations while maintaining its existing leadership, employees and client relationships.
BA employs 256 people and provides architecture, interior design and consulting services. Its BA Science consulting team focuses on operational planning, research and data analysis for complex projects.
