The S/L/A/M Collaborative a well-known part of Boston’s architecture community, announced the acquisition of five CBRE I Heery architectural design practices focused on healthcare, sports facilities and justice, which will be known as Heery Design, a SLAM Studio.

CBRE, which acquired Heery in 2017, will retain full ownership of the Heery interior design and engineering businesses, which are an integral part of the company’s project management services offering.

Glastonbury, Connecitut-based S/L/A/M is nationally known for its design of healthcare, education, corporate and sports facilities. The firm has offices in Connecticut; New York; Atlanta; Boston and Los Angeles.

Approximately 70 Heery employees will join S/L/A/M’s team of 210 professionals. The transaction includes the CBRE I Heery healthcare design practices in Denver, Iowa City and Philadelphia, the justice design practice in Orlando, and the sports design practice in Atlanta. The agreement also includes the stand-alone Heery Design offices associated with these practices, as well as the respective architectural book of business. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“When the chance to acquire these five Heery offices first arose early last year, we were still in the initial phases of our integration with Frank Webb Architects. But this opportunity was too good to pass up,” S/L/A/M President Robert F. Pulito said in a statement “Adding Heery Design professionals to our team of talented and diverse professionals, enhances our deep expertise in critical segments of the market and doubles our number of offices – all in one move.”

Heery Design Managing Directors Russ Sedmak, Mike Holleman and Douglas Kleppin will join S/L/A/M.
