Arium AE Named to Architectural Record’s Top 300

Arium AE celebrates its first appearance on Architectural Record’s 2026 Top 300 Architecture Firms.

September 29, 2026

We’re Ranked Among the Top 300 U.S. Architecture Firms.

Arium AE has earned a place on Architectural Record’s 2026 Top 300 U.S. Architecture Firms list. This is Arium’s first appearance on the national list and a milestone for a firm founded in Columbia, Maryland, in 1988.

Architectural Record ranks firms by revenue from architectural services performed during the previous year. Arium’s inclusion reflects the growth of our practice and the trust clients place in our team across a wide range of building types and design challenges.

For us, the milestone is also personal. Our architects, interior designers, and engineers work together to bring creative vision and technical precision to every project. From places of work and learning to healthcare environments and highly specialized facilities, that work is shaped by close relationships with the people who rely on these spaces.

“We’re grateful to our clients and everyone on our team who has helped Arium grow while staying grounded in the relationships that built our firm,” said Brian Frels, AIA, NCARB, Principal at Arium AE.

We’re proud to celebrate this first national ranking and look forward to the work ahead.
