By Sandra Gramley, AIA, LEED ap BD+C At Platt/Whitelaw, we're helping empower schools in more ways than one. While school design and modernization have long been part of our work product, some recent San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) directives have us literally powering schools. As of September 2020, 7,332 K-12 schools throughout the nation use solar power. This number represents approximately 5% of all schools nationwide. Our project management strength is based on responsiveness and clear communications.
Platt/Whitelaw Architects is a full-service architectural firm, dedicated to public and community based projects. Our approach to design relies heavily on open communication between all members of the design team, including clients, users and community groups. Our project types include educational facilities, libraries, parks and recreation, life safety facilities, justice facilities, administration/operation/maintenance facilities, religious institutions, affordable housing and historic preservation.
Our Mission is to provide responsive architectural services, designing buildings that enrich the user, the community and the environment. Our Vision is to provide a positive impact on our community and to contribute to a more resilient world.
