ABOUT SHAFER | ZAHNER | ZAHNER
More Than 50 Years of Architecture.
One Continuing Commitment.
Shafer Zahner Zahner's roots in architecture reach back to 1974, when Gary Shafer began his architectural career.
Over the decades that followed, Gary built an extensive body of work with an emphasis on civic and educational architecture while simultaneously building a distinguished teaching career at Mississippi State University.
In 2016, Sally Zahner and Justin Zahner joined Gary to form Shafer Zahner Zahner, PLLC, bringing together decades of experience and a new generation of architectural leadership.
Today, our Starkville-based firm serves clients throughout Mississippi with experience spanning K–12 and higher education, civic architecture, historic preservation, sports and recreation, commercial spaces, and more.
While our portfolio continues to grow, our approach remains personal: listen carefully, understand the purpose and design thoughtfully.
Rooted in Starkville.
Working Across Mississippi.
Starkville is home, but our work extends throughout the state.
Our experience includes partnerships with municipalities, universities, community colleges, school districts, state organizations, businesses, churches and private clients.
These long-standing relationships have given our team a deep understanding of the communities we serve and the responsibility that comes with designing spaces that transcend time.
