Kluber Architects + Engineers Joins Aeterna Group, a New National Architecture and Engineering Firm, Backed by Signal Hill Equity Partners
Kluber Architects + Engineers, a full-service firm with deep roots in the Chicago area and across Illinois, has joined Aeterna Group, a new national firm comprised of five established architecture and engineering brands united by a shared belief that great design enriches the communities it serves.
Kluber Architects + Engineers will continue to operate under its own name, with the same leadership, the same team, and the same deep commitment to government, education, healthcare, and corporate clients across Illinois that has defined the firm since its founding. By joining this national collective, Kluber gains access to shared resources, broader expertise, and a national network of like-minded firms working toward the same goal.
The introduction of Aeterna Group follows Kluber’s September 2025 announcement of a partnership with Signal Hill Equity Partners to create a national collaborative of architecture and engineering firms. The collaborative, now comprised of five companies, has been united under the shared Aeterna Group name.
“Joining Aeterna Group allows us to build on the strengths that we have established over decades,” said Mike Kluber, President of Kluber Architects + Engineers. “Our clients will continue to work with the same local team they know and trust. That relationship will now be backed by greater resources and expertise, allowing us to continue to support our communities for years to come.”
