At MOA Architecture, we are a diverse team of architects, interior designers, planners, technologists, and creative professionals united by one purpose — to make a measurable difference in people’s lives, our communities, and our world through environments that truly work for the people who use them.
To us, great design isn’t abstract — it’s buildings that perform better, support wellness, improve efficiency, and inspire the people inside them. It’s a classroom that helps students focus, a hospital that promotes healing, a lab that ensures safety and precision, and a workplace that empowers connection and productivity.
Our purpose-driven approach shapes everything we do. We measure success not by profit or market share — those come naturally when we do our job well — but by the positive outcomes our designs enable: healthier patients, more resilient communities, thriving teams, and enduring partnerships. Because when design makes a difference, everyone succeeds.
Over nearly four decades, we’ve cultivated a culture rooted in curiosity, collaboration, inclusion, and mentorship. We believe that when our people are supported, empowered, and encouraged to innovate, our clients experience the benefits through thoughtful solutions, seamless coordination, and a genuine sense of partnership.
Our commitment to quality design, technical excellence, and responsive service has earned the trust and loyalty of our clients, business partners, and communities. After nearly forty years of practice, more than 70% of our work comes from repeat clients or direct referrals—a reflection of relationships built on performance, integrity, and results. Our clients know they can count on MOA time and time again.

per Katie:
1. What problem is your client facing?
Our clients are facing complex facilities that no longer fit their mission, technology, or growth.
Healthcare systems are struggling with aging infrastructure and evolving care models.
Public agencies are managing facilities that are inefficient, hard to maintain, and out of compliance.
Laboratory users are working in environments that can’t keep pace with modern equipment, safety standards, or inter-agency collaboration.
They need spaces that support today’s demands and tomorrow’s possibilities, but are often overwhelmed by the technical, financial, and organizational challenges of getting there.
2. How is that problem making them feel?
They feel frustrated, constrained, and uncertain.
Their teams are working harder than ever, yet their buildings are working against them, causing inefficiencies, safety risks, and missed opportunities.
Leaders feel pressure to make big capital decisions with limited data, while end-users feel unheard or disconnected from the design process.
Ultimately, it creates anxiety: “What if we make the wrong investment?” or “How do we modernize without disrupting our operations?”
3. Why is that just plain wrong?
Because the people who serve our communities deserve facilities that serve them back.
It’s wrong for vital institutions—hospitals, labs, schools, and civic agencies, to struggle in spaces that limit their ability to heal, teach, and innovate.
Our clients shouldn’t have to choose between functionality and vision, or between compliance and creativity.
Every organization deserves a design partner who listens, understands, and delivers environments that empower people and advance missions.
