Ridgeland, MS (January, 2022) Dean and Dean Architects, an award
winning architectural firm offering professional services in architecture,
planning, interior design, and graphic design, has completed an extensive
rebranding effort and will begin operating under a new name, Dean
Architecture, P.A. effective immediately. A newly redesigned corporate
logo has been revealed and a new company website is planned to launch in
the coming months. Along with these changes, the company relocated to
Ridgeland, MS, and will be a part of The Horne Building, an award winning,
$12 million dollar exclusive office building designed by the firm.

This impressive 125,000 square foot structure is sheathed in visually striking
and energy efficient reflective glass, and provides a contemporary and sleek
design. Dean Architecture occupies 5,800 square feet of interiors located
on the first floor, alongside PriorityOne Bank, Smith Shellnut Wilson, The
Cress Group, Capitol Staffing and Horne LLP, the anchor tenant.

Dean Architecture's new home, constructed by Mid-State Construction,
includes a client focused lobby and reception area with custom millwork
including a waterfall ceiling overlapping the quartz reception desk, a coffee
bar with concealed sink and coffee station, small and large conference
rooms, and a zoom room featuring acoustic wall panels to absorb noise for
focused work. Custom graphic wallcoverings designed by Dean
Architecture's graphic designer, transforms the zoom room, breakroom and
employee focused area with stylish and personalized images, playing off the
new logo, new branding color scheme, and iconic client projects designed
throughout the history of the firm. The full glass corridor door allows a view
through the entire space and a glimpse into the collaborative studio area.

The collaborative studio space is the employee-focused area. It includes
private offices, a library, an open studio with cubicles along the windows,
and areas for collaboration and team spaces as well as areas for focused
work, printing, and storage. The glass-front private offices face the studio
to create an easy flow of collaboration and connection with all team
members. The collaboration areas in the studio feature relaxed furniture
options and felt pendant light fixtures that are finished in the new color
palette, providing a modern and lively area.

"This rebranding strategy reflects both the evolution of the firm as well as its
vision for the future", said J. Alan Grant, President, and one of Dean 
Architecture's three principals including Timothy G. Geddie, and Kenneth A.
Oubre. We are very excited about our new location and the introduction of
our new company branding.

Over seventy years of success with a foundation for many more, Dean
Architecture. Your architect.
