Who we are and what we can do for you
Michael J. Burns Architects, Ltd. (MJBA) is one of the oldest firms in North Dakota still under its original Principal. Founded in 1983, we have over 40 years of professional experience in both the public and private sectors. We pride ourselves on being one of the top firms in Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse in our region, yet that doesn’t limit us from pursuing new construction and other renovations. Our local and prudent firm size means we will be with you from start to finish, ensuring direct and unimpeded communication with your project lead.
MJBA serves a broad scope of clients and structures. Our successes include county buildings, retail, mixed-use, multi-family housing, assisted living, offices, churches, residential, healthcare, hotels, schools, transportation, and higher education facilities. We apply our Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse expertise when working with many of our clients, allowing us to reduce cost and waste and promote conservationism.

Creating Leaders
Architecture is an ever-developing field. We are surrounded by it, live in it, and it reflects on our communities and creativity. At MJBA, we aim to provide leaders for our community and promote creativity, hard work, attention to detail, and quality results. We encourage our younger staff to voice their thoughts and ideas. We believe this helps to create the best possible work and encourages growth. Limiting them to menial tasks harms them and our future. We hope to share our focus on restoration and preservation and promote a community-aware mindset where we can use our resources best and preserve what came before us while providing modern solutions and comfort.
