Founded on the northern shores of Duluth, LHB was built with an entrepreneurial spirit that lead the way for engineering services in Minnesota. In 1966 LHB was incorporated in Minnesota as a structural engineering firm. As Minnesota communities grew and prospered, so did the demand for additional professional services from LHB. To meet the demand, we grew our business by adding architects, civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, landscape architects, interior designers, and surveyors. LHB is now a full-service firm with offices in Duluth and Minneapolis that can complete all facets of a project using dedicated, in-house teams.

Through the years, our relationships have remained solid and our client list has grown. LHB’s first project was on the Duluth Arena. More than 30 years later, we continue to work for this client on a variety of other projects. We feel fortunate to have built so many long-term relationships and our portfolio has expanded significantly with project representation throughout the Midwest. We credit our success to working closely with our clients, delivering projects that are tailored to their specific needs.

As we move into the future, we maintain the same entrepreneurial spirit that supports our three core principals: high performance design, quality documents and design excellence. Using the principles of high performance design, LHB focuses on creating environments that are valued for their economic, environmental, and social justice considerations. To assure this happens, our design documents undergo a thorough internal and external review to ensure accuracy. Our design excellence values are maintained through continuous inspiration from our creative staff and client and community collaboration.
