Founded in 1971, Kirksey Architecture began as a small commercial architecture firm and today has evolved into a diverse organization of 12 specialized and practiced groups, each focusing on a particular business segment. Kirksey is headquartered in Houston, Texas on a LEED certified corporate campus.
Kirksey specializes in designing health-conscious buildings. This was formalized through the creation of the EcoServices team, a private think-tank and consulting group whose focus is to mainstream environmentally friendly building practices. The team educates other firm members and the community on green building practices. A basicGREEN program was developed that prescribes sustainable design measures to be implemented on every project, regardless of LEED Certification and at no added cost to the project.
Kirksey currently has over 27,000,000 sq ft (2,500,000 m2) of LEED projects certified or underway, and has designed many of Houston's first
LEED buildings including:

1st LEED certified building in Houston (Silver, New Construction)
1st LEED CI in Houston (Silver, Commercial Interiors)
1st LEED EB in Texas (Existing Building, our own corporate headquarters)
1st LEED CS (Core and Shell), which is also the 1st Gold certified building, in Houston
Kirksey retrofitted their building to become the first LEED EB (existing building) certified in Texas as well as operating internally as a green company for many years through recycling efforts, tree planting, green cleaning programs, and alternative transportation incentives for employees.
