Former President MIKE
PAGANO said of his decision
to join the firm, " I could see
that Dick was a formidable
architect and a man of his
word. What attracted me to
Dick was that if he took a
project, he gave it everything
that was in him. The project
got every bit of attention that
it needed and that impressed
me. If he told someone he
would do this for you, he found
a way, and those were qualities
that I admired."
collaboration with clients, the firm
was solidifying its foothold in the
region.
During this decade, the firm also
focused on projects that involved
many local industrial giants. LPA|A
renovated office space at Wright
Line in 1980; Norton Company
commissioned the firm to design its
executive suites in 1985.
The firm expanded its reach into
the academic world as well. In 1986,
the firm designed the library and
science buildings at the Bancroft
School and the student center at
Becker College; six years later
Becker commissioned LPA|A to
design another project.
A Nurturing Environment
LPA|A's burgeoning practice
signaled the need to add more
staff. Given the work environment,
professional integrity and
commitment to volunteerism, several
hires during this time period are
still with the firm today. In 1985,
Lamoureux's son Richard became
part of the team and Kathryn
Crockett joined the firm in 1986; both
Lamoureux and Crockett are now
principals. Lamoureux's daughter
Andree Witkos and Robert Para
Jr., now a principal, came on board
in 1987, and principal and design
lead Eric Moore has been with
LPA|A since 1989.
