History

Further information: Eggers & Higgins

RMJM was founded by

New Zealand House in Haymarket Road, London, described as "London's most distinguished 1960s office block".[3] The firm was heavily involved with academic campus projects in Scotland in the early 1960s, with notable commissions for the University of Edinburgh, the new University of Strathclyde in 1964 and the University of Stirling
.

In 1961, the firm took Tom Spaven, Kenneth Graham, Vernon Lee, John Richards, Chris Carter, and Alan Whiteman into partnership. As a result, the practice changed its name to RMJM & Partners.[4] The change in name also marked a shift towards larger international projects; by 1967 the practice employed 350 members of staff between the Edinburgh and London offices.[5]

The Hutchesontown "B" estate, Gorbals, Glasgow (1960–64) was one of the firm's earliest commissions

RMJM began to take on more projects as the need for public sector construction grew,[4] expanding to include a Glasgow studio before extending its reach beyond the British borders. In the late 1960s, the firm began working on projects in the United States. Further projects in the Middle East and Central Asia saw RMJM establish several more international studios in the following decades.

Over the next 20 years, RMJM continued to expand and the firms

The Lakhta Center, the Gate to the East, Iran Historical Car Museum, Evolution Tower and Sheremetyevo Airport's North Terminal Complex.[7]
