Company

Who we are.

Alares Architects & Engineers is an architecture and engineering firm founded in 2007 by Don Maggioli, P.E. — a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and a former officer of the U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets).

We provide design, engineering and commissioning services to federal, healthcare and commercial clients across the United States. Our practice is concentrated in mission-critical facilities — VA hospitals, federal campuses, healthcare buildings and clean rooms — where reliability and code compliance aren't optional.
