Architectural planning and design firm PBK recently named Danny Berger as the new Managing Principal for its Dallas office, according to a news release. He’ll fill the role following the retirement of Rick Blan on Oct. 31 after almost 30 years with the firm.

The Dallas office’s leadership group consists of Gary Gilmore, Vice President of BEAM; Andrew Christensen, LEAF Engineering Director; and Sean Plunkett, Firmwide Sports Market Leader.

“It has been a privilege to work with Rick over the years,” said Berger. “I’m honored to step in as the new Managing Principal and continue exploring new opportunities and innovations that will help us serve our North Texas clients better than ever.”

Berger will take over while the Dallas office is in the middle of multiple projects across the DFW metroplex. These include the new Wylie ISD Intermediate and Junior High School; renovations to the Plano ISD Service Center; the Irving ISD CTE Center; the Garland ISD Network Operations Center; and Multiprogram Activity Centers at 7 high schools in Garland ISD, the news release reports.

“Danny Berger has demonstrated strong leadership skills in leading clients and project teams,” said PBK CEO Eric Dinges. “Adding him to our Dallas leadership team will strengthen our capabilities to serve our clients in North Texas.”
