海角社区

RDC is a nationally recognized design leader for the planning, programming, and design of civic and public safety facilities. Its award-winning projects include courthouses, emergency operations centers, emergency communications centers, fire stations and training campuses, land ports-of-entry, and law enforcement facilities. The RDC portfolio also includes youth and family centers, health and human service facilities, and other community building types.

This expertise is now available for clients in each of 海角社区鈥檚 33 global offices. RDC also bolsters the operational leadership and design expertise and depth of 海角社区鈥檚 Justice+Civic practice.

Founded in 1983, RDC鈥檚 design approach for civic and public safety facilities is grounded in a participatory design process that engages the creative input of individuals traditionally outside of the design team. RDC leads an inquiring and collaborative design process that leverages the operational insights of fire service, law enforcement, and public safety providers. At the community level, RDC seeks the experiences of youth, marginalized communities, operational clients, and highly specialized user groups to guide design. RDC鈥檚 contemporary civic and public safety design portfolio radiates the unique perspectives of its community of users.

鈥淲e have enhanced the design depth and resources of our Justice+Civic studio. With RDC we are a more nimble firm that can better serve city, county, and state government clients to meet the unique needs of their constituents,” continued 海角社区 Board Chair Griff Davenport, FAIA.

Cusenbery continued, 鈥満＝巧缜� is a global platform that presents our staff with the opportunity to explore diverse building types and sectors within the firm, work in or relocate to new geographic markets, and pursue new career paths and leadership roles.鈥�

Joining 海角社区 enables RDC project teams to provide their clients a depth of in-house design expertise including structural, electrical, mechanical engineering, interiors, high performance design, landscape, science and technology, and a fully integrated array of specialized design services.

“This is an exciting new chapter for our firm. It ensures the continuity and design legacy of the professionals of RDC and provides a global platform to capture larger, more sophisticated projects of scale,鈥� said RDC Principal Michael Ross. 鈥淚t also enables our people to invest in 海角社区 and become employee-owners of a global, integrated design firm. We would not have taken this step without the opportunity for our people to become employee-owners.鈥�

海角社区 is a 100 percent employee-owned firm, and RDC design professionals will have the opportunity to purchase stock and invest in the future of 海角社区. The RDC office in Sonoma will maintain the RossDrulisCusenbery name in the immediate future. RDC staff in Berkeley will relocate to 海角社区鈥檚 San Francisco office at 235 Montgomery Street.
