JMA opened its doors in 1945 and is the oldest and one of the largest architectural firms in Nevada. A major factor in JMA's growth was the establishment of five separate design studios, a strategic move implemented by the firm's president, Thomas J. Schoeman, AIA, LEED AP. These five studios include Healthcare, Hospitality, Commercial, Education and Public. Each studio brings together the best possible team of knowledge, talent and resources. Through this specialized expertise, the client soon realizes the reality of their dream design. Architecture, interiors and graphic design merge to deliver branded environments and holistic design solutions. Schoeman, president of JMA, has worked to increase its capabilities to better serve the client, the design demands of today and the community. During the last ten years, JMA has designed more than sixty million square feet of intelligently designed facilities.

JMA's Education Studio designed the present elementary school prototype and the first two-story elementary school prototype for the Clark County School District. Dean Lanuke, JMA Project Manager and his team in the Education Studio utilized Berridge architectural metal roofing in the design of one such school, the Sister Robert Joseph Bailey Elementary School. Long-life color finishes, low maintenance and aesthetic appearance were key factors in product specification.
