RMJM (Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall) is an international architectural practice founded in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1956 by architects Robert Matthew and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall. The first offices of the practice were its headquarters in Edinburgh, and another in London. In June 2007 RMJM purchased Princeton, New Jersey based Hillier Architecture, forming a company with 1,200 employees. Later in December 2011 RMJM acquired YRM which will allow the possibility of future expansion into the technologically intensive industries such as environmental engineering.
In its earlier years, RMJM designed in a functional modern style, with Matthews and Johnson-Marshall as strong proponents of the style in the United Kingdom. Today, RMJM provides architecture, master planning, design, and engineering consultancy services in several sectors including corporate and public, education, health and science, hospitality, transportation, and sports. RMJM currently operates out of offices in Istanbul, Dubai, Glasgow, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, New York, Shanghai, Singapore, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok and Washington D.C.
On the 26th October 2012, RMJM placed its three UK business into receivership; RMJM, RMJM London and RMJM Scotland. KPMG were appointed to act as receivers. A new business was set up to transfer the current Contracts and associated architectural teams, known as RMJM European Division. At the time of administration, RMJM employee numbers had reduced to 310.
