The planners, urban designers, landscape architects, and architects at WRT share the firm's passion for improving the quality of the natural and built environment. This passion extends beyond in-office project work to work out in the community. Last year alone, WRTers extended their skills and interests towards a number of volunteer projects that have had great impact in our local community. These projects not only allow us to engage in the communities where we live, but also give us additional opportunities to hone our skills while supporting causes that we are passionate about.
