Firm Overview - Atlanta

FIRM OVERVIEW

ABOUT US LS3P celebrates nearly six decades of dedication to our clients and the communities in which we practice and live. Founded on May 1, 1963, by Frank Lucas, FAIA, LS3P has since grown to include a professional staff of over 340 serving the Southeast. LS3P has eight offices throughout the Carolinas and Georgia (Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, and Savannah).

James Cramer, founder of DesignIntelligence, has called LS3P “the most local of the global firms and the most ‘world-class’ of the locals.”

LS3P has a long legacy of design excellence, with over 600 design awards across diverse practice areas. With a mission to “engage, design, and transform,” we are deeply committed to the communities we serve.

We believe in collaboration, innovation, and building lasting relationships with our clients.

The firm’s major practice areas include higher education, urban environments, healthcare, K-12 education, and workplace. Practice leaders in each of these areas of specialized

design bring a mix of up-to-the-minute knowledge and rich design experience to each project, and collaborate with colleagues in all offices to promote cross-disciplinary thinking in all areas. Our diverse portfolio also includes historic preservation, aviation and transportation, hospitality, military and government, office, residential, and worship projects across a broad geographic area.

LS3P’s newest practice area, Urban Environments, is purpose-built for positive transformation, focused on impact, and driven by mission. Every project has an impact on, and becomes part of, our shared built environment, and as cities across our region continue to experience rapid growth and economic investment, it is imperative that we engage with the communities across the Southeast to better understand the challenges impacting people’s quality of life and planetary health. It is our responsibility to design buildings, places, and systems that respond to these challenges and transform the urban environment across the Southeast in ways that enable all people and the planet to thrive.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Sustainability is defined as living and designing our world so that all living things may thrive in perpetuity. LS3P takes that seriously and is an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE); both are foremost coalitions of leaders from across the building industry, promoting buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live and work.

We have successfully completed over 90 LEED projects, certified at all levels of achievement, and maintain direct relationships with USGBC technical staff and account directors for ongoing help and fewer delays. LS3P design teams are passionate about integrative sustainable design and high-performance buildings, and our Sustainability Director provides progressive leadership and resources to our teams for achieving and exceeding our clients’ goals.

by signing on to the AIA2030 Commitment, targeting 70% energy savings, and adopting USGBC LEED® best practices as our own standards with the goal of all of our projects resulting in high performance buildings. The AIA2030 Commitment focuses on regularly achieving net zero energy buildings by 2030, significantly and immediately reducing greenhouse gas emissions toward that goal.

Effective sustainable design does not add cost for the client. We start early at LS3P, setting robust energy and water targets during the schematic design phase, addressing resilience and facility flexibility.

We design mindful buildings that inherently reduce future demand for energy and resources, and then we assess on-site energy generation and water capture with smaller loads to meet. When we reduce wasted energy, water, materials, budget, time, and people, and the whole planet benefits as well as our clients.
