The recognition highlights MSA’s commitment to mentorship, professional development, and career advancement for emerging architects.

Market Square Architects (MSA) has been recognized as a 2026 Emerging Professional Friendly Firm by AIA New England, an initiative recognizing architecture firms that support the professional and personal development of the next generation of architects.

At MSA, professional growth is an important part of our culture. The firm supports emerging professionals through Architect Registration Examination (ARE) preparation, mentorship, continuing education, leadership opportunities, and hands-on experience across all phases of architectural projects.

Working alongside experienced architects and project leaders, emerging professionals gain exposure to the real-world considerations of architecture, from early planning and design decisions to consultant coordination and construction.

These opportunities strengthen both individual careers and the firm as a whole. For our clients, investing in professional development helps build more capable, knowledgeable, and collaborative project teams, with a growing depth of expertise to draw on.

As MSA celebrates its 10th anniversary, we’re proud to be recognized for our commitment to the people who will help lead the firm’s next chapter.

We extend our thanks to our emerging professionals and the mentors and colleagues who support their continued success.
