This year marks Kirksey's 54th anniversary, which we celebrated with our traditional toast to a year of noteworthy events, accomplishments, and promotions.
The spirit of the firm that John Kirksey founded over five decades ago continues to thrive as we've grown to over 220 amazing team members in three offices, working on projects around the globe. Since opening our doors in 1971, Kirksey's employees have consistently driven our firm's contributions to the industry and the built environment, creating an enduring legacy and a reputation for excellence.
During the toast, several employees across all three Kirksey offices in Houston, Austin, and Dallas were elevated to new roles and positions within the firm. The firm also recognized this year's employee awards, which acknowledge excellence in client service, community and industry impact, project management, and design innovation. Kirksey's newly promoted individuals exemplify the firm's spirit through their dedication to the growth and prosperity of their fellow employees and the firm.
