ST. LOUIS – HOK has completed the acquisition of Kansas City-based 360 Architecture, a 200-person firm that designs sports, recreation, wellness, entertainment and mixed-use facilities. HOK’s Sports + Recreation + Entertainment practice designs mixed-use entertainment districts anchored by sporting venues that promote urban revitalization. Teams from both firms have been working on integration plans since announcing the agreement on Aug. 19, 2014. HOK’s re-entry into the Sports + Recreation + Entertainment market in 2015 coincides with the celebration of its 60th anniversary. After HOK Sport launched in 1983, the firm became a pioneer in redefining sports facilities. HOK spun off its sports practice in 2008. 360 Architecture was founded in Kansas City in 2004 through a merger of CDFM2 Architecture Inc. and Heinlein Schrock Stearns.
