Work Program Architect's mission is to work to raise the bar in design of environments and objects while continuously exceeding the expectations of our clients, collaborators, and community. We will satisfy a desire for architecture and design that is bold and NOW, that makes a positive dialogue with its physical and historical context, that is durable and responsible in its utilization of resources, and that is fun in the process of its formation and execution.

The new Maury High School is coming into focus. WPA, VMDO Architects, and HEARTLAND CONSTRUCTION unveiled proposed designs featuring a future-ready learning environment, outdoor education spaces, cutting-edge athletic facilities, and a constructed wetland for flood mitigation. Community feedback is shaping this vision — another engagement event is coming soon!
We’re honored to be named one of Real Leaders' Top Impact Companies of 2025! This recognition celebrates our commitment to sustainable, community-centered design. Thanks to Real Leaders for this acknowledgment, and to our team for making it possible.
The new Perry Glass Studio expansion and renovation is nearing completion and the press has started to take notice of the new structure alongside the Chrysler Museum of Art’s main building. The latest report comes from Lauren Martinez at WAVY-TV 10, who takes viewers inside the new expansion and speaks with architect Robert Crawshaw about the project’s unique design.
Glass art is naturally the focus at the Chrysler Museum of Art’s new Perry Glass Studio, but there is another story beneath the surface. Katherine Hafner at WHRO Public Media spoke with project architect Robert Crawshaw about the innovative flood-mitigation strategies he designed to safeguard the new expansion while supporting the Museum’s legacy of creativity and community engagement.
Many thanks to Barbara Horwitz-Bennett for including WPA in her “Last Detail” column in Architectural Products and calling attention to the Elizabeth River Project's Ryan Resilience Lab, OpenNorfolk , and the Perry Glass Studio at the Chrysler Museum of Art. Each of these projects reflects our mission to make our communities stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient.
We are thrilled to be featured in The Architect's Newspaper. This article, written by CEO Mel Price and Director of Urban Design Peter Johnston, highlights WPA’s approach to community engagement for other architects and developers. They share how listening, building trust, and empowering communities leads to better outcomes.
The ideas shared at last weekend’s pitch day are a testament to the passion of the White Rock community. From tutoring services to art studios and gaming spaces, the possibilities for the community hub are endless. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and special thanks to Lindsey Cook at WDBJ7 for highlighting this incredible project.
