Spurgin & Associates Architects
Our Services
Spurgin & Associates Architects provides a full range of professional planning and design services. Of course we offer the full compliment of building design services including schematic design, design development & construction documents, bidding and negotiation assistance, and contract administration. But we can also assist our clients with site planning, site feasibility studies, space programming and planning, as well as assistance with interior and exterior material and color selections. If necessary we can provide budget assistance via our professional estimating consultant.
Our Projects
Spurgin & Associates Architects has worked on projects with construction values ranging from $100K to $7M. Our projects include private sector office and medical buildings; school athletics facilities from concessions and teamroom buildings to bleachers and grandstands, and from tennis courts to indoor football fields; municipal facilities including office, courts and parks buildings, fleet maintenance facilities and fire stations; community college fire academy training facilities; industrial facilities from shops and warehouses to office finishout in airplane hangars; and county government facilities from office suites to event centers, from amphitheaters to indigent care centers, and modifications in prisons to courthouses. Our firm handles it all: remodels, tenant finishout and new ground-up buildings.
Our Firm
Spurgin & Associates Architects operates as a Sole Proprietorship and we are purposefully a small firm working closely with our chosen civil, structural and MEP consulting engineers who are also small, local firms. We strongly believe that our limited staffing does not limit our capabilities but ensures unlimited client contact and involvement with the firms' respective principals and owners, the guys whose names are on the door, from schematic design to move-in and beyond, virtually assuring the desired results in a timely and successfully completed project. Our growing list of repeat clients attests to our ability to create enduring architecture as well as lifelong professional relationships.
Our Location
Spurgin & Associates Architects' sole office is located at 103 W Louisiana Street near the historical town square in McKinney, the county seat of Collin County, Texas. Downtown McKinney has become a destination for dining, shopping and entertainment, and for several years McKinney has been ranked one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, among the best places to live and work in the nation. Likewise, Collin County has similarly been ranked near the top in growth, both locally and nationally. Our firm endeavors to play a vital role in shaping the development, environment, growth and success of the city and region in which we work and live.
Our History
Spurgin & Associates Architects in McKinney, Texas was established 28 years ago in September of 1990 by Mr. Kent Spurgin, Owner, Principal and Sole Proprietor of the firm, and McKinney native. Mr. Spurgin determined his destiny was to be an architect when he was in middle school, took drafting classes in high school and headed for UTA upon HS graduation to embark on his architectural degrees. During under-grad summers, he came back home and worked for a local architect, worked for another local architect near the UTA campus during grad school, and came back home to McKinney to work for the local architect until his retirement shortly after Mr. Spurgin began his own practice in the same office. Much of the work of this firm is in the public sector which was a mainstay of both firms where Mr. Spurgin interned and learned the business.
Our Ongoing Relationships
Spurgin & Associates Architects has been privileged to provide professional design services on approximately 80 projects for Collin County and multiple projects for the Cities of McKinney, The Colony, Lewisville, Celina, Plano and Farmers Branch, as well as McKinney ISD and Collin College.
