Sims Architects Inc.

Sims Architects, Inc. was established in 2003 to provide planning, design and consulting services for primarily two building types: educational and commercial. The educational sector consists of k-12 public and private schools as well as colleges and universities. The commercial sector includes Stores, Offices, Churches, Hotels, Storage Facilities, Condominiums, Shopping Centers and other similar facilities. Founded by Joel K. Sims, AIA, the firm has undertaken projects in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Vancouver, British Columbia. Although the firm specializes in educational and commercial facilities, we maintain a varied practice and undertake projects in other areas including select residential projects.  The firm’s staff are highly educated and experienced.

Sims Architects is unique firm. Joel K. Sims, AIA spent eighteen years working for large architectural/engineering firms in New York and Pennsylvania prior to starting his own firm. His experience allowed him to develop a well organized, highly efficient firm that can be very competitive with design fees. Sims Architects is a small firm with a large firm mentality. The firm’s focus has always been on working with exceptional clients. To that end most of the firm’s work comes from repeat clients. Mr. Sims is a frequent speaker at state and national conferences and has written numerous articles on architectural design.
