Iowa Board of Supervisors Wants to Sue Over Design Problems, But Who to Sue After HOK and Populous Split?

Since we seem to be on a woes-of-architecture kick this morning, let’s just keep going. So, the question to kick this post off is: if you have a major complaint several years after a company has decided to split up and change its name, who exactly are you supposed to sue? Such is the question being asked by the Polk County Board of Supervisors in Des Moines, Iowa, who have decided to file suit against mega-firm HOK Sport over issues it’s had with “breach of contract and alleged design problems” with the Iowa Events Center it designed for the county.
