Montreal-based architecture firm Provencher_Roy has acquired Ottawa’s GRC Architects in a move that will create one of the capital’s largest companies in its field.
The firms announced the transaction on Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed.

Its past projects include the Canadian War Museum (a joint venture with Moriyama Teshima Architects) and the embassies of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
