Not fancier, just better architectural services.
Avoid over-designed buildings that bust the budget.
Make informed decisions about operability & sustainability.
Reduce the risk of architectural design that can’t be built.
Clients want buildings that operate as designed and are easy to maintain.
The problem is, many architectural firms focus on their award-winning designs that bring them accolades and recognition from their peers. When you work with an architect who doesn’t listen or whose designs can’t be built efficiently, it makes you feel frustrated.
At EMC2 Group, we know that architecture is the practice of designing and constructing buildings. Founded in 1978, EMC2 has completed thousands of large and small projects that span planning, design, and construction for educational, municipal, religious, healthcare, and office building clients in the southwest.


Our design philosophy is simple:
Your facility must function for its intended use.
It must be easily maintained.
It should have a pleasing appearance appropriate for the budget.
When you work with EMC2, you’ll work with veteran architects who have your interests at heart, so your building will work well, your users will enjoy the space, and you will be thrilled that you met budget, schedule, and quality goals.

What Clients Are Saying
They took the concept, ran with it, and came up with a design that impressed everybody—one of the most unique in Yuma County. The space is also very functional and exceeds the needs of the end users.
Steve Eckert
Director of Facilities Management
Our success rate in obtaining funds from the School Facilities Board had been limited …. We retained EMC2 and they moved forward with the assessment… we were really surprised when we received notification from the School Facilities Board that we had been approved for $1 million!
Douglas L. Huie
Director of Facilities and Transportation
Our processes through design development through final project execution were efficient and on time. We were able to meet all timelines and budgets that the owner required of our team thanks to these processes.
