Welcome to LaBella, the new home of the ODELL team! Learn about our greater capabilities and project resources.

In November 2021, ODELL proudly joined LaBella Associates, a multi-disciplinary firm with a renowned culture of partnership. From our new home at LaBella, ODELL will continue to deliver our design vision to your specifications, leveraging LaBella’s extensive architecture and engineering expertise and resources.

As we transition to the LaBella name, we’re working hard to blend our teams for added advantages. These include broader geographic coverage, a larger talent pool, and a wider range of services, encompassing architecture and other design disciplines. Our ODELL studios will maintain familiar design teams, now with additional expertise nearby.

LaBella offers services in the same markets as ODELL, with improved capabilities and a stronger team. For more information about LaBella’s offerings in these markets, click on the section below to explore their comprehensive architecture and engineering services.

Meet the Experts

When we were looking for ways to expand our design services, broaden our geographic reach, and have a larger team of experts, LaBella emerged as an ideal partner. We’re excited to build on ODELL’s 80 year legacy with the innovation and transformation that is possible because of the environment that LaBella offers. The benefits of joining LaBella are palpable to our design team, clients, and communities.Brad Bartholomew, AIA, LEED BD+C

It’s been wonderful to be part of the merger of two strong healthcare practices, and the opportunities that expanded geography and resources bring! The integration has been made easier by collaborative team members and an exceptional LaBella culture. We see opportunities for innovative healthcare delivery and solutions across new and existing partnerships, and it makes us very excited for the future.Rick Peterson, AIA, ACHE
Studio Leader

When ODELL was approached by LaBella Associates about a possible acquisition/merger, we did our homework to learn all we could about LaBella and to help ensure this would be a good partnership for ODELL. The first thing we learned was that the senior leaders are all top-notch professionals who act with integrity and with a can-do attitude. We were also impressed with the firm’s diverse practice with capabilities to tackle nearly anything dealing with the built environment through multiple offices in the U.S. and Europe.Michael Woollen, AIA, LEED AP
