US-based engineering and architecture firm PRIME AE has acquired Pennsylvania practice Klavon Design Associates to enhance its landscape architecture, planning, and federal expertise, according to PR Newswire.

The Florida-headquartered company, managed by Platform Holdings, strengthens its design platform through the partnership with the Pittsburgh-based firm.

The firm is recognised for its collaborative approach and multidisciplinary expertise, combining technical excellence with thoughtful design to create spaces honouring both people and the environment.

Kurt Bergman, chief executive of PRIME AE, said: "By integrating Klavon's capabilities, PRIME AE is expanding support for clients across multiple markets, particularly in landscape architecture, planning, sustainability, and federal work. Klavon's long-standing experience serving the Department of Defense and other federal agencies strengthens our overall team and expands opportunities for collaboration across the organization."

Dina Cole Klavon, president of Klavon Design Associates, said the alignment between the two firms made joining PRIME AE a natural next step. She added: "PRIME AE shares Klavon's values of integrity, collaboration, and delivering high-quality work for clients. Their people-first leadership, technical excellence, and respect for local leadership gave us confidence in joining the organization."

United as one team, PRIME AE and Klavon are positioned to offer holistic design solutions combining technical rigour with design innovation. The integration accelerates PRIME AE's evolution into a nationally recognised leader in planning and landscape architecture whilst strengthening the firm's multidisciplinary approach.
