SWA Architects
SWA Architects (SWA), a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE), was established in 1985 to provide architectural design, planning, and consulting services in a fully integrated manner to public, healthcare, industrial, and commercial clients. Our strong focus on client service has led us to think of project delivery not just in terms of modifying the physical environment, but as a framework for developing and maintaining client relationships. A solid and loyal base of regular clients and the amount of new business obtained through client referrals, demonstrate our success in pursuing this approach.
With many registered architects and LEED Accredited Professionals, SWA brings together extensive collective experience in the design, master planning and programming of complicated technical facilities. Our experience with complex programs serves us well on the many remodeling and expansion projects that we undertake which involve highly specialized departments, programs and services. SWA’s staff has experience in a variety of project types, including: healthcare, high tech biomedical laboratories, education, industrial and transportation design projects.
