Dale/Morris opened its Biloxi office on 994 Howard Ave on July 5. The firm, formed as a partnership of two of the nation's leading firms, Dale and Associates Architects and Morris Architects, provides master planning and design expertise to casino, condo and resort developers, as well as to healthcare clients. The new office will house full-time employees that serve its Gulf Coast clients.
"We've served Biloxi for 14 years. Our experience is local and so are our contacts. It's great to open a new office to help serve our clients in rebuilding the Mississippi Gulf Coast," said Doug Dale, principal of Dale/Morris Architects.
Dale/Morris' architects and planners are experienced in the local governmental approval planning and permitting process. The firm is currently working on a number of multi-use developments, including condos, casinos and healthcare, along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. One of their recent clients includes the 3.5 million square foot Bacaran Bay Casino Resort for Torguson Gaming Group, Inc. The firm has also worked with Governor Haley Barbour's Commission on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal and Mayor A.J. Holloway on the planning and redevelopment of east Biloxi.
