Firm
BEFORE WE BEGIN We've provided architectural services for a broad range of project types and scale for three decades. Our experience is in athletic, commercial, educational, federal housing, healthcare, industrial, interior design, and religious facilities. Our goal is to make the built environment better. We do this by producing quality project documents, building relationships, maintaining integrity, using creative geometry, and incorporating sustainable building designs. We believe every project is unique. We start each project by identifying goals and establishing a scope. A careful study of the scope, site, and budget provides the framework for our design solutions. We're actively involved in our community by serving on boards and volunteering. We belong to professional organizations that provide support and keep us informed. Some of our affiliates are: • American Institute of Architects • National Council of Architects Registration Board • Science & Natural Resource Foundation • East Central University Green Building Advisory Board • Oklahoma Historic Preservation Architects • Chickasaw Nation Small Business Development • Ada Rotary Club • Ada Lions Club • Ada Kiwanis Club • Boys & Girls Club of Ada

Firm History
The company was established in 1979 by Glen Childers and was later joined by his brother Don Childers to form ChildersChilders Architects & Associates. An additional business venture was started in 2006 by Tim Elliott, Kim Prater, Forrest Neal, Glen, and Don called Redland Architects. In 2012 the two companies merged forming Redland Childers Architects. We're proud to be a Native American Owned and Operated business. Being located in the heart of the Chickasaw Nation has given us a great appreciation of our rich history while focusing on the future.
