We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the University of Wisconsin–Madison La Follette School of Public Affairs on their future home at the historic Music Hall. 
 
The proposed renewal will adapt and expand the 1878 space for current academic needs while honoring its legacy. It will serve as a hub for La Follette's growing community, which is currently spread across 28 different campus buildings, and include spaces for collaboration, learning, events, and student services. 

On May 29, KieranTimberlake hosted an evening of art and conversation in celebration of The Bottling House's newest exhibition, Sidewalk Meditations from Powelton Village, featuring ceramic mosaics by Philadelphia artist Jennifer Johnson.

On May 16, Founding Principals Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake were awarded the 2025 Dean's Medal from the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning in recognition of their contributions to the field and the betterment of the world. Stephen and James also delivered an address to graduates at the School's 53rd Commencement.

Last month, Philadelphia's PBS member station WHYY visited KieranTimberlake to discuss our Bottling House Gallery's latest exhibition, Building Ghosts.

2025 is off to a busy start with KT staff delivering lectures, attending conferences, guiding site tours, and more. To best capture all that we're up to, we're continuing to share quarterly posters designed by our in-house team.

We look forward to connecting soon at events both near and far.

Since our founding in 1984, KieranTimberlake has been committed to the protection and betterment of planetary and community health. We confront climate change, social inequity, and biodiversity loss through all our work, outreach, and discourse.  
 
We are signatories of the AIA 2030 Commitment, which seeks to make all buildings carbon neutral by 2030, and the AIA Materials Pledge, a promise to consider human, climate, and ecosystem health as a part of the building materials evaluation process.  
 
As part of our ongoing participation in these initiatives, we report our projects' data to the Design Data Exchange (DDx) and share our Sustainability Action Plan (SAP), which provides guidance and benchmarks for achieving carbon neutrality. 
 
In 2024, we reimagined our SAP into a living document which affirms our commitments, establishes actionable goals, and organizes our efforts toward a more sustainable approach to architectural practice.

We are happy to announce that KieranTimberlake has officially transitioned from a partnership to a 100% employee-owned corporation, marking a significant milestone after 40 years as a founder and partner-led firm. This evolution highlights our commitment to fostering a collaborative, innovative, and inclusive culture, ensuring the firm's future is in the hands of those who have contributed to its success.

Principal and Research Director Ryan Welch was recently interviewed for AIA Philadelphia's Context Magazine. The Winter 2025 issue showcased architectural research and was co-edited by Franca Trubiano and Milton Lau. 
 
In the interview, Ryan spoke about his career trajectory and the role of research in architectural practice today.

2300 Market is a singular new building that spans a century. The 8-story, 225,000-square-foot life science research and discovery building is targeting LEED Gold certification and is scheduled for completion in March 2025.

In KieranTimberlake's 40th anniversary year, our projects continued to receive accolades locally, nationally, and internationally for design excellence, sustainability, and innovation. Each award reflects our team's dedication to thoughtful architecture integrated to site, program, and people.
