Stanley Beaman & Sears

What Stanley Beaman & Sears does

Stanley Beaman & Sears is an Atlanta-headquartered architecture and design firm founded in 1990 (firmographic year 1992 also reported), operating as a privately held corporation classified as a Women's Business Enterprise. The firm practices an Integrated Design model that co-locates architecture, interior design, and environmental graphic design disciplines within every project team rather than treating them as separate service lines. Core practice areas are healthcare (with a strong pediatric specialty covering children's hospitals, neonatal units, pediatric clinics, and children's cancer centers), higher education and research (university learning commons, labs, student health centers, cancer research institutes), arts and culture (museums and galleries), senior living, and early learning facilities.

The firm's technical backbone is Building Information Modeling using Bentley Architecture, with IFC-compliant interoperability that allows data exchange with consultants on Autodesk Revit. SBS deploys BIM from earliest programming through documentation for programmatic data tracking, solar orientation and lighting studies, automated 2D-3D hypermodeling, systems coordination, and clash detection with construction management partners. The firm holds multiple LEED-accredited professionals and is a USGBC member, with project credentials including LEED Platinum (Georgia Tech Clough Center), LEED Gold (Georgia Museum of Art, Nemours, Joe DiMaggio), and the first LEED-certified cancer institute in the United States (Emory Winship, 2003).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees for architecture, interior design, and environmental graphic design, sold via direct enterprise engagement with institutional clients (healthcare systems, universities, research institutions, cultural organizations). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm does not offer products, software, APIs, or AI services. Distribution is direct field sales to institutional buyers, supported by awards-based PR in healthcare design publications. The firm claims to be a national architecture and interior design leader in healthcare, pediatrics, higher education, research, and arts facilities, anchored by a 25+ year track record of national awards from AIA, IIDA, ASID, Modern Healthcare, and The Center for Health Design, and by Advisory Board membership providing healthcare industry research access.
