KATIE CROCKETT, President,
said "LPA|A's founders really
supported me throughout my
early career. I am most proud
of having started as an intern
at LPA|A, gradually increasing
my skills, taking on more
responsibility to eventually
become President of the firm.
I try to pay that forward to the
next generation of leaders by
always encouraging staff to
think beyond their current roles
and responsibilities."
Sustainable Design
One notable school project became
a model of sustainable design, one
of the firm's key building blocks since
its inception. As a matter of course,
staff collaborates with clients to
produce a final product that meets or
exceeds environmental standards,
incorporates renewable energy
systems and integrates responsible
reuse procedures. Moreover, the
firm works with each client to devise
design elements that adhere to
established goals and that are
unique to each project.
This outstanding project was
the design of the Nelson Place
Elementary School in Worcester.
The City sought an academic facility
that could accommodate 600
students from Pre-K through 6th
grade, including a large population
of students with disabilities, and
a district-wide autism program.
The end result was a school with
adaptable features that enhance
learning for all students. Flexible
lighting, movable furniture and
a range of technologies enable
teachers to effectively communicate
and support students.
