LPA Healthcare Approaches Market with Sustainable Designs
IRVINE, Calif. — Irvine-based design firm LPA has formed LPA Healthcare, a new studio that will manage the design of acute- and specialty-care facilities and offer sustainable innovations.
The company has hired Rick Wood, AIA, a 25-year veteran architect and previous partner at Wood Burghard Swain Architects (WBSA), headquartered in Costa Mesa, Calif. Wood will become a managing principal, and eight members of Wood’s staff will join him at LPA, which has already been working with WBSA on health care projects for about a year.
