Each year, ARCHITECT magazine comprises a list of the top 50 design firms, large and small, in the United States. Each firm submits their design portfolio of recent work and completes a survey which rates everything from number of licensed architects to the firm’s practice model. In 2014, PSW was ranked #28 Design Firm in the United States – the only Arkansas based firm to make the list.
In 2009, ARCHITECT magazine initiated a list of the “Top 100 Firms in the Country”, a designation that weighed heavily sustainable design initiatives. In 2009, 2010, and 2011 Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects was recognized on this list, the only Arkansas based firm to receive this honor. In 2009, PSW was also recognized as a Top 10 Award Winning Firm in the country by ARCHITECT Magazine. In 2012, the firm was ranked the #11 firm in the nation for design quality / pro-bono work.
