James L. Smith, President and CEO // Economic Growth Connection of WestmorelandAfter 25 years of construction projects in economic development, I can say that (Digital Foundry at New Kensington) has been the smoothest project that I’ve ever been involved with. During a time of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and wildly disrupted supply lines, the project came in on time and under budget. The stunning design by R3A is sure to be an iconic part of New Kensington for decades to come.
Creative Experience:
A Multidisciplinary Approach
We work closely with our clients to realize spaces that will serve them for years to come. As we tackle spatial challenges at all levels of complexity, we continually adapt to evolving technologies, pedagogies, and ways of moving through the world. This constant evolution and critique — asking ourselves ‘how do we work smarter, faster, more efficiently’ — results in built environments designed to face the challenges and demands of a rapidly changing future. Our diverse portfolio is supported by research and investigation into the latest advances in technology, sustainability, and design excellence.

Team Experience:
Breaking Boundaries
Our team is unified by a ravenous curiosity and a passion for boundary-breaking design. While pragmatism is always a top consideration, we do not believe in such a thing as mundane space. Every site is an ecosystem with different resources, requirements, and workflows. Space not only influences a person’s ability to perform their work, play, or rest, but how they feel while doing so. As architects and designers, we believe that every built environment has the potential to positively affect someone’s day, year, or life via their interactions with it. Whether through intuitive pathfinding, ergonomic furniture fit-outs, or exciting aesthetic elements, we search out every avenue for creating positive change through design.
