Hammel, Green and Abrahamson

Hammel, Green and Abrahamson (HGA) is an architecture, engineering, and planning firm that originated in Minnesota. It was founded in 1953 by Minnesotans Dick Hammel and Curt Green (Bruce Abrahamson joined in shortly thereafter).

All three of HGA's founders were schooled in the Bauhaus tradition, which stressed a collaborative and inter-disciplinary approach to Modernism. They began their work designing K-12 school buildings. The firm later expanded into other areas, such as healthcare, corporate environments and higher education. They are currently one of the largest firms in Minnesota.

HGA has expanded into eleven national offices; Minneapolis and Rochester, MN; Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Jose and San Francisco, CA; Milwaukee and Madison, WI; Boston, MA; Alexandria, VA and Washington, D.C.[1]

In October 2018, HGA announced its acquisition of Wilson Architects, a Boston-based firm specializing in science and technology facilities for higher education and corporate clients.[2]

gollark: There's also that stupid DRM blob my browser needs for "encrypted media extensions", though I have that turned off.

gollark: I don't think there's open-source firmware available for my... SSD, keyboard, smartcard reader thingy, and whatever else.

gollark: With my actual x86-based computer, I mostly control it, except... lots of the firmware, the intel management engine, and the BIOS.

gollark: Mine does too, but it has an annoying screen complaining about the bootloader being unlocked on boot.

gollark: Android phones have the same issue (iOS too, more so, but I have an android one so I'll complain about it) - you can barely do anything to it unless you root it, and even that's a hassle and still has limitations.
