Who we are & how we help
What does it mean to serve communities for over 100 years? It means doing the type of work that helps people raise a family, grow a business, engage with their neighbors, and enjoy a variety of unique, enduring spaces that form the fabric of "home."
MSA's roots reach back to 1919. What began with an entrepreneurial solo practitioner in Baraboo, Wisconsin, has grown into a robust and thriving company of over 400 employee owners conducting work across the country. As a 100% employee-owned firm, when we say we "own" our work, we mean it. We stand behind the quality of our designs, the integrity of our people, and the generations of client relationships we've formed based on trust, firm handshakes, and the belief that together - we can accomplish anything.
