Our Firm
IBI / Blurock is a nationally recognized leader in the design of educational facilities. Since its founding in January of 1984, the firm has been the creative force behind hundreds of elementary school, high school, and college projects. Throughout its history the firm has consistently provided elegant, cost-effective solutions to the full array of design challenges. Whether it’s constrained budgets, short time schedules, “unbuildable” sites, distressed neighborhoods, regulatory impediments – or all of these and more – Tom Blurock, FAIA and his team of professionals have forged buildings that work for all the many constituents that schools must serve.
Attesting to our position as experts in school architecture are dozens of prestigious awards, extensive recognition in professional and popular media, a high percentage of repeat engagements, low professional staff turnover, and most importantly, unqualified endorsements from past clients.
In September of 2006, the firm of Thomas Blurock Architects was acquired and integrated into the practice of IBI Group becoming IBI / Blurock. IBI Group is a leading international multidisciplinary provider of a broad range of professional services. Focusing on the physical environment of cities, IBI's business is concentrated in four main areas of development: Urban Land, Facilities, Transportation, and Systems. Professional services provided include planning, design, implementation, analysis of operations, and other consulting services related to these four main areas of development.
