Minneapolis’ Wold Architects & Engineers, a full-service planning, architecture and engineering firm, acquired VPS Architecture.
The partnership expands Wold’s national presence while further strengthening its expertise in education and public-sector design, two industries in which both firms have long-standing client relationships and reputations for thoughtful, community-centered work.
With the addition of VPS, Wold continues to grow its national platform, strengthening its team of experienced architects and designers serving communities across the Midwest and beyond. The firm now includes more than 300 professionals across seven offices nationwide.
Based in Evansville and Indianapolis, VPS increases Wold’s presence in Indiana and the Midwest, a region experiencing continued investment in education and public-sector infrastructure. The two firms share a deep commitment to client relationships, integrity and people-first design, bringing expanded expertise to K-12, civic and healthcare clients in the area.
The partnership reflects Wold’s ongoing investment in strategic growth while remaining grounded in the people, communities and long-term relationships that have defined the firm for decades.
Founded in 1960, VPS Architecture is a multidisciplinary architectural design firm known for its collaborative approach, evidence-based design strategies and dedication to superior client service. VPS has built a strong reputation designing K-12 schools and civic facilities for communities across Indiana and the broader Midwest. By joining Wold, VPS gains access to expanded in-house engineering expertise, additional technical resources and operational support, while maintaining the same leadership, project teams and relationship-driven approach that clients rely on.
Leadership from both firms will remain actively involved as the teams begin integrating operations and branding over time, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity for clients, employees and partners.
The acquisition represents the first strategic transaction following Wold’s partnership with Providus Capital Partners, announced in August 2025. Providus serves as a strategic advisor and capital partner as Wold continues to expand its service capabilities and enter new markets.
