Dear clients, we are pleased to announce the recent merger/ acquisition of YOUNG + WRIGHT ARCHITECTS INC. by IBI Group. We are now operating under the name Young + Wright / IBI Group Architects.

IBI Group is a multi-disciplinary organization offering services in four areas of practice: Urban Land, Building Facilities, Transportation Networks and Systems Technology. The integration of the architectural personnel at the combined offices of Y+W together with IBI Group Architects will result in approximately 450 personnel in Canada and approximately 675 personnel worldwide and a complement of approximately 1,750 personnel within the IBI Group of firms. Please visit our web sites below to see the new services and expertise this merger/acquisition has allowed us to offer our clients.

"Richard Young, Jamie Wright, Drummond Hassan and Neil Munro, the four principals together with Lawrence Doyle, have established broadly based architectural practices both in central and western Canada and have now succeeded in establishing professional relations with clients in China and Dubai. The agreements that we have concluded provide for all four principals of Y+W along with Lawrence Doyle, the senior members and all staff to continue with the practices."
Phil Beinhaker
Chairman Director and CEO of IBI Group
"Principals and professionals of Y+W see this integration of the two practices as an opportunity to expand the range of our services and the depth of our resources for the work on behalf of our existing clients and will allow us to position for further expansion."
Richard Young
Director, Young + Wright Architects
"We, at Y+W, have succeeded in opening opportunities in China and in the Gulf, but have been challenged by the establishment of offices and professional staff in these areas. The geographic scope of IBI operations provide immediate platforms to enable us to serve these new clients of Y+W and to grow our practice to a world scale within the framework of the IBI Group of firms in Canada and internationally to realise our objectives in this regard".
James Wright
Director, Young + Wright Architects
