Plunkett Raysich Architects, LLP, (PRA), and A lign Architecture & Planning, have had a strategic partnership pursuing and implementing work in Iowa together for over fifteen years. The completed projects that resulted of this teaming have been extremely successful, with satisfied clients coming to rely on our collaborative efforts as their “go-to” trusted team for architecture and planning.

Two years ago, we contemplated what officially joining forces and becoming one firm would look like, leading us to where we are today, together under the OnePRA brand.

Align, known for its innovative designs in many diverse markets and projects, brings a wealth of experience and a robust portfolio to PRA. The firm has a strong reputation for delivering client-focused solutions that integrate creativity with functionality, making them a perfect fit for PRA's mission to provide comprehensive architectural services that meet the evolving needs of clients.

Align Architecture & Planning will continue to operate under its current name as a studio of PRA during the transition period, with plans to fully integrate into the PRA brand over the next year. Existing clients of Align can expect the same high level of service and creativity they have come to trust, now backed by the extensive resources and expertise of PRA.

This acquisition marks a significant milestone for both firms as they embark on a new chapter of growth and innovation in the architectural industry.

“Align and PRA both have a long history of meeting the needs of their clients and providing top-notch service. Together, these two firms collaborated to help the North Tama School District thoroughly examine our needs and then to plan, design, and implement a long-term vision for the district's facilities. I'm thrilled that PRA and Align have joined forces! Working together, they will be a POWERHOUSE firm in helping school districts develop a vision and making that vision become reality.

They produced results for our school district, and they can do the same for yours. Align and PRA provide a personalized approach that made us feel like we were their most important client. I'm proud to give Align and PRA my full endorsement. With Align and PRA working even more closely together. The sky is the limit."
