Anderson Brulé Architects, based in San Jose, Calif., recently announced that it is celebrating 40 years of service by rebranding under a new name, according to a news release. The architectural, interior design, and planning firm will now be known as ABA Studios to refresh its identity underneath a new generation of leadership. The new name will be accompanied by a new logo and an updated website.

“As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we’re looking to the next 40 years with enthusiasm,” said Mark Schoeman, Design Principal. “ABA Studios will continue to explore bold solutions, innovate thoughtfully, and play a role in strengthening California communities with environments that help people thrive both individually and collectively.”

The firm was founded in 1984 by Pamela Anderson-Brulé and Pierre Brulé to create “places imbued with purpose and meaning that celebrate learning, community, culture, and wellness.” ABA Studios will continue to follow its founding principles while also reflecting new perspectives and addressing modern problems.

“Our new name signals our continued evolution as a firm as we adapt to our clients’ needs to address critical operational, environmental, and societal challenges in a holistic manner,” said Lee Salin, FAIA, President and Managing Principal. “It also honors our roots and celebrates the legacy Pam and Pierre have created.”

Previous ABA Studios higher education projects include the Martin Luther King Jr. Library for the City of San José and San José State University, the CORE Library at CSU East Bay, Academic Core Buildings at Ohlone College, and the UCSF-WHHS Cancer Center, the news release reports.
