Houston, Texas — In a strategic move designed to deepen its commitment to healthcare excellence, E4H Environments for Health Architecture, a MOREgroup brand, is excited to announce the opening of its new office in Houston.

The new office will work alongside MOREgroup’s education practice, Huckabee, and its engineering practice, IEG Innovative Engineering Group, in a shared space designed for collaboration.

"Our Houston office marks a significant step in our plan to be where our clients need us most," says Jeremy Bartz, President of E4H. "We're bringing our design expertise directly to the heart of healthcare in Texas to ensure that we're a part of the community we serve, ready to respond quickly to the needs of health systems and providers in the area."

Leading the charge in Houston is Thomas Newsom, AIA, CDT, LEED AP, a respected healthcare design expert with a wealth of experience in the region. "I am eager to steer E4H in Southeast Texas," Newsom states. "Collaborating closely with the exceptional E4H team and drawing from the collective knowledge of the MOREgroup brands, we are poised to create state-of-the-art facilities that will foster healthy, thriving communities."

Christopher M Huckabee, CEO of MOREgroup, shares his vision: "By expanding E4H into Houston under the MOREgroup umbrella, we're blending Huckabee's deep knowledge in educational design with E4H's expertise in healthcare design. It’s a partnership that doesn’t just aim to meet the community’s needs—it’s set to transform how education and healthcare interact, redefining excellence in community-centric architecture."

The office in Houston will join forces with other Texas locations to provide a unified network of services across the state, ensuring a seamless experience for all clients.
