Eppstein Uhen Architects

What Eppstein Uhen Architects does

Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) is a privately held, full-service architecture and engineering firm founded in 1907 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The firm operates through seven market-based studios — Healthcare, Learning, Living, Science + Technology, Workplace, Community, and Advanced Manufacturing + Industrial — that deliver integrated architecture, engineering, experiential design, interior design, planning, strategy, and sustainable design services. Notable enterprise engagements include healthcare systems (Children's Wisconsin, Froedtert, UW Health, Ascension), industrial clients (Rockwell Automation, Foxconn, Blue Origin), education (University of Wisconsin System), financial services (Northwestern Mutual), and sports/entertainment (Milwaukee Bucks, Summerfest).

EUA's technology stack is built on industry-standard architecture and engineering tooling, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), sustainable design methodologies, and LEED certification expertise. The firm does not disclose proprietary technology platforms or AI/ML capabilities. Service delivery follows a project-based professional services model: engagements are customized, quoted per scope, and span multi-year design-through-construction-administration cycles. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct client relationships and professional network referrals.

The firm is principally owned, with a partnership-style governance structure typical of architecture firms; no external private equity or venture capital is evidenced. Since 2016, EUA has executed three acquisitions — KINDNESS Architecture + Planning (2016), Burkett Design Inc. (2017), and Performa (effective January 31, 2022) — extending its footprint from a Wisconsin-only base to five offices across Wisconsin, Colorado, and Georgia.
