About 

Jack Bialosky Jr. leads one of the Midwest’s most successful and collaborative architecture firms, Bialosky + Partners Architects. From his Cleveland office he designs and manages his firm’s most significant projects.

After years of experience at Kallman McKinnell & Wood Architects, Jack returned to Cleveland to initiate a 20+ years of stewardship of his father’s small local firm, Bialosky + Partners Architects. The firm is known for the quality of its designs, the diversity of its clients, the longevity of its staff, and the range of its portfolio of work. In addition to numerous design awards, the firm garnered three Weatherhead 100 Outstanding Growth awards in the decade of the 2000’s. In 2009, the firm was recognized by the American Institute of Architects as a Gold Medal Firm, the highest honor awarded by its peers, in recognition of great depth and breadth, a collaborative environment, and having a cumulative effect on the profession over a substaintial period of time. Jack’s initiative to seek out talented ambitious designers, artists and experts and add them to the creative process has fostered richly innovative partnerships with designers such as Maya Lin, David Moss, and Architecture Research Office, among others.


Jack Bialosky, Jr. serves on numerous boards and committees regarding the region’s art and design, including The City of Cleveland Design Review Commission, and GCRTA Arts in Transit Committee. Jack is currently leading the office in ongoing projects such as Intesa, a $100 million mixed use project in the University Circle area of Cleveland; a new phase of significant expansion at Crocker Park in Westlake, OH; design of a new GCRTA Rapid Transit Station at Brookpark; new buildings with Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, OH and Muskingum College in New Concord, OH; as well as the Kent State CAED Competition with Architecture Research Office, among other ongoing projects.
