This and, “dream big.”

Design Days: our annual celebration of shared passion for what we do. Anchored by a global design activity, this year we focused our efforts on a singular real-world opportunity – the Rondo neighborhood revitalization in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

"ReConnect Rondo is a Saint Paul-based nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding the historic Rondo neighborhood divided by I-94 in the 1960s. Their mission is to reunite the community, restore a vibrant African American cultural enterprise district, and reduce pollution."

Across our studios, we imagined the possibilities for this neighborhood and hosted the organization responsible for the development in our Minneapolis studio. It’s a treasured time for our firm where we get to pause, reflect, and think big about the challenges and opportunities of design in our communities.

Follow ReConnect Rondo to learn more about their cause and impact.

Dare we say it’s our favorite month of the year? Happy – here’s to all those who believe in having a stake in their design firm;
… who walk into the studio with an intrinsic motivation to do their best work;

… who want a voice in where they are headed;

… who want transparency in their firm’s financials and performance;

… who take pride in saying, “I am an owner.”

We love hearing what employee ownership means to our people. Take a moment to hear what they have to say.

Today, Conran and Partners' internationally renowned luxury studio joins DLR Group. From their London and Hong Kong offices come timeless and thoughtful designs that embrace rich and varied cultures, uncovering unique identities of place: https://www.dlrgroup.com/firm-news/conran-and-partners-joins-dlr-group/

The studio carries the legacy of Sir Terence Conran, who transformed British taste with passion for well-designed environments. It will operate as a distinct boutique practice within DLR Group. “[When exploring a strategic partnership], DLR Group gave us a clear answer: more design resources, extended reach, and the platform to grow, without asking us to become something we're not,” says Conran and Partners Principal Tim Bowder-Ridger, on behalf of the five partners.

We are eager to begin this new chapter and see what we do together to deliver on our brand promise.

We joined University of Missouri leaders, Mizzou Athletics, and project partners for the ribbon cutting at the new Memorial Stadium – a $250 million reimagining of the north end zone that doubles as a new front door to campus. Just in time for Memorial Stadium’s 100th anniversary: https://www.dlrgroup.com/firm-news/mizzou-memorial-stadium-ribbon-cutting-ceremony/

Our design keeps what Tiger fans have always loved about this place and adds what the next century calls for: premium hospitality, modern amenities, and spaces that stay active long after the final whistle.

"Our design challenge was to honor that legacy while creating an experience that looks decisively toward the future," shares Sports Design Leader Ryan Freeland, AIA. "The Centennial Project creates a destination that will serve the university and the state of Missouri for decades to come.”
