Anglo-US healthcare architect Anshen + Allen has been bought by Canadian consultant Stantec for an undisclosed sum.

Anshen + Allen said the deal would create a global practice of more than 1,000 architects, working alongside planners, engineers and surveyors in the $1.5bn turnover Stantec business.
Anshen + Allen employs 80 people in its London office, and 108 architects worldwide. It claims to have designed 拢2.5bn worth of healthcare buildings since it was set up in the UK in 1990.

Roger Swanson, Anshen + Allen鈥檚 chief executive officer, will stay on under Stantec.

He said his firm chose to merge with Stantec because it allowed it to compete for global projects.
