Core offering

PJA Architects provides architecture and landscape design services with a specialization in zoo and aquarium design. The firm works on animal habitat, facility, and visitor-experience projects for zoological and aquarium institutions, combining architectural and landscape design capabilities for clients in this niche segment.

Product overview

Stantec is a global design and consulting firm operating as a multi-service portfolio rather than a single unified product. The company organizes its offerings into eight core service areas (Buildings, Community Development, Energy, Environment, Federal Government, Mining/Minerals/Metals, Transportation, and Water) plus Program & Construction Management. These are complemented by nine strategic initiatives including Climate Solutions, Digital, Coastal Resilience, Nature-based Solutions, Energy Transition, Smart Cities, Sustainability, International Institutions, and Advisory Services. The firm also offers specialized tools such as WARi (water affordability analysis tool) and AI-based decision support systems. Projects span architecture, engineering, environmental consulting, and infrastructure delivery across diverse markets globally.
