May 1, 2014
COLUMBIA, SC – May 1, 2014 – Engineering News Record (ENR) has named local architecture firm LS3P as its Southeast Design Firm of the Year. With offices in Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville, SC and Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington, NC, the firm has over 200 employees.
Principal Mary Beth Sims Branham, AIA, Vice President and Columbia office leader since 2004, is honored by the recognition. “It is has been a privilege to establish a local presence for LS3P in our Capital City. Thanks to our great clients in the Midlands and all around the state, the Columbia office has continued to grow and play a part in the design of many exciting projects that have helped shape the way people live, learn, play and work. This is what our passion for architecture is all about.” With a diverse portfolio of K-12, higher education, civic, and corporate projects, notable projects for the office include Langford Elementary School, the AllSouth Federal Credit Union headquarters, and the University of South Carolina Alumni Center.
In selecting LS3P as Southeast Design Firm of the Year, ENR Southeast editor Scott Judy notes that the honor is about more than the bottom line. “As always,’ he writes, “the designation of our ‘Firms of the Year’ goes beyond a review of the numbers. ENR editors reviewed information from 115 nominated firms related to recent projects, sustainability efforts and community outreach, among others. And when the votes were tallied, it added up to the designation of LS3P as this year’s Design Firm of the Year.”
