VIRGINIA REGION'S REPORT

STRONGER TOGETHER!

Founded in 1986 in Reston, Virginia, LeMay Erickson Willcox Architects was a leader in the design of
public safety, religious and multi-family/mixed-use facilities throughout the mid-Atlantic and across the
country. Having designed more than 150 public safety facilities, over 15,000 apartment units and more

than 150 faith-based facilities, we were looking to expand our reach and capabilities. When the
Principals of LEWA met with FGMA, it was clear that we shared the same values and growth strategies,
and our current capabilities could only be enhanced by the combing of firms. This partnership would
expand our strength and national leadership in public safety and faith-based design, and with the
diversity of our studios, provide opportunities for cross-sector marketing allowing for previously
unrealized growth potential. As LEWA, our market share covered more than 15 states from 1 office
with a staff of 20. Under the FGMA umbrella, we have become STRONGER TOGETHER, supported by a
team of more than 180 staff, in 8 offices, with a larger national footprint. Together we will continue to
build communities and opportunities for people to live, work and play.
