JH&H Architects Planners Interiors

What JH&H Architects Planners Interiors does

JH&H Architects Planners Interiors is a privately held professional association (PA) headquartered at 1047 North Flowood Drive, Flowood, Mississippi. Founded in 1964 as Jernigan, Hawkins & Harrison by Jules Jernigan, Thad Hawkins, and Robert Harrison, the firm has grown to approximately 25 professionals organized around seven principals, all of whom were internally promoted from intern positions. The firm operates across four core service lines — Architecture, Planning & Development (master planning), Interior Design, and Graphic Design — supported by multiple construction delivery methods including Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Partnering, and Construction Management. Technical execution relies on BIM and 3D production software supporting a whole-building approach to design.

The firm serves five market sectors: PK-12 Education, Higher Education, Civic & Corporate (government facilities, courthouses, libraries, convention centers), Religious Facilities, and Sports Venues. Documented projects span the building-size spectrum from a 20,032 SF regional planning office to a 207,142 SF high school serving 1,800+ students and a 176,000 SF stadium expansion at the University of Southern Mississippi. The customer base is concentrated in Mississippi and the Southeast US, with specific clients including Rankin County School District, Mississippi State University, University of Mississippi, Millsaps College, and multiple Baptist and Catholic congregations.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees, with pricing determined by project scope, complexity, and service requirements (no publicly listed pricing). The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales into institutional buyers via RFPs, bonding relationships with school districts and government entities, and long-tenure repeat clients. Notable strategic partners include Perkins+Will, Waycaster & Associates, Trahan Architects, and Hnedak Bobo Group. The firm is internally financed with no external investors, private equity, or parent entity, and maintains an intern-to-principal pipeline that has produced all current leadership. Recognition includes multiple AIA Mississippi, AIA national, ASID, ABC, and IESNA awards spanning 1997 to 2011, and over 3,000 completed projects across the firm's 60+ year history.
