A. Richard
Glance, Registered Architect + Professional Planner
In 1975, Richard Glance founded Glance + Associates, Inc.
that developed into an award-winning architectural and planning firm
that focused on providing each client with personal service and high
quality design to meet their budgets. In 2009 Mr. Glance transferred
the business to his son, who has grown it into one of the
largest multi-disciplined firms in the region with over 60
employees. LGA-partners.com. Over the years Mr. Glance has utilized
its workforce for selected projects that benefit from their
extensive resources. Since his retirement, Mr. Glance has been involved in a few selected
projects each year under the name of A. Richard Glance;
Architecture+Planning Consulting Services.
As part of the
original business plan, Mr. Glance continues to be actively involved
in the design and construction phases of every project. He is the
principal designer in additon to reviewing each document before it
is released to the client or contractor. This vertical integration
of the office has been the cornerstone of the firm's success over
the years. Clients have informed us that they feel comfortable
knowing the owner of the firm is accessible and is personally
responsible for the major aspects of their project.
