How GGA Started
Goldberg Group Architects is an award-winning architecture firm founded by Lawrence Goldberg in 1981.
With offices in St. Joseph and Kansas City, Missouri, we focus on commercial and justice architecture. GGA has completed many commercial projects, starting with the original renovation of Le Chateau Village, a mixed-use development in the heart of St. Louis. Today, our commercial portfolio includes projects of all types, from office spaces to dental practices to industrial plants, spanning adaptive reuse and new construction.
The firm was awarded its first justice project in 1985 and has expanded its expertise over the years to earn national recognition in justice architecture. Hundreds of projects later, GGA has designed numerous public facilities, from law enforcement centers to health departments, and earned a reputation as an innovator, partnering with communities to find solutions that will serve them for years to come. Our designs demonstrate sound planning, compact floor plans, and operational efficiency with durable but attractive finishes.
Working in and operating a GGA-designed Justice Center has been an amazing experience over the past few years. Their planning process so thoroughly reflected our needs, and their bid documents were so complete and meticulous that the results ended up with everything we could have hoped for.

Linn County, KANSAS
It has been a pleasure working with GGA for the past four years on our new Law Enforcement Center. Trying to evaluate sites, develop the right design, get a bond issue passed, and develop financing options. It’s not easy in this current environment, but they’re genuine experts in this process. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.
Sheriff Tom Johnson
Coffey County, Kansas
GGA has been working with us for several years, helping us at every stage of this process. Their creativity, experience, and tenacity are simply amazing. We would not be breaking ground and pouring foundations this week without their guidance.

After careful evaluation of the existing facility’s functional deficits, MEP systems, and capacity requirements, it was determined that this facility could not be cost-effectively renovated. GGA worked with county officials and developed a plan for a new off-site facility to be co-allocated between the County and the City of Sioux City.
