McCarty Architects was founded in 1983 in Tupelo, Mississippi, by Buddy McCarty, who was soon joined by his brother, Richard. In the early years, the firm built its reputation as a premier architectural design team in the healthcare and senior living industry but has since expanded into a broad range of markets. Today, McCarty Architects is led by Kurt Shettles and Justin Harrington.

As our firm has grown, the scope of our work has expanded but our core mission has remained the same: designing well-functioning spaces where people can live, work, learn, and heal.
