Specialized expertise. Demonstrated success.
For more than a decade, ARCH has helped scores of organizations nationwide successfully navigate the unique challenges and complexities of building projects in special purpose environments—senior, learning, healing, and civic. ARCH manages projects of all sizes throughout North America, with current projects in planning and construction valued at more than half-a-billion dollars.
Senior Environments
Enriching the lives and supporting the wellbeing of seniors.
As specialists in senior environments, we have keen insight into the functional requirements of their staff, including aspects of daily operations that an architect or engineer might not fully understand. Our consultants are experts in meeting the unique regulatory, licensing, and permitting requirements and ensuring compliance with all regulations and accreditation standards.
We are an active member of LeadingAge, a national association of organizations that are dedicated to research, policies, and practices to enable individuals to live fully as they age.
Learning Environments
Serving the needs of educators and students today and tomorrow.
With special emphasis on functionality, flexibility, adaptability, advancing technology, sustainable design, and the ever-evolving nature of learning design, ARCH serves the construction management needs of public school districts, private/charter schools, libraries, and institutions of higher learning. Our expertise includes facility assessments, master planning, referenda, and fundraising campaigns.
ARCH is a member of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), and our professionals appreciate the critical role that accurate specifications play in scoping any project, publicly funded or not.
Healing Environments
Meeting the distinctive challenges of healthcare service delivery.
With our deep understanding of the needs of healthcare provider organizations, their staffs, and the patients they serve, ARCH offers construction management expertise specifically tailored to primary care and specialty clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, medical office buildings, and hospital renovation and expansion projects. Our planners are sensitive to unique demands of environments devoted to interactions between practitioners, patients, and their families as well as to Owners’ operational, budgetary, and future use requirements.
ARCH staff members hold membership in the American Society of Healthcare Engineering (ASHE).
Civic Environments
Addressing the diverse interests of the community at large.
Covering the wide-ranging challenges of county and municipal governments and other entities that serve a public purpose, ARCH’s experience includes renovating and developing new facilities for law enforcement, fire departments, judicial systems, and other civic and public uses. To address the fiduciary concerns of public leaders, ARCH consultants provide specialized expertise in energy efficiency, utility cost reductions, streamlined operations, and sustainable construction for long-term use.
Our staff members hold membership in the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and can provide expert guidance on issues related to LEED certification, often a major consideration in public projects.
