Where Community

Needs Meet

Smart Solutions

Municipal buildings have historically played a significant role in communities worldwide. They tend to be focal points of a community, bring people together, and reflect the local culture. They also create a sense of identity and belonging to the community.

VLK begins the design process with research on the context of the project and the culture of the community. We engage in robust community engagement and participation of stakeholders including users, government officials, business owners, and the community at large. This collaborative design results in a vision that the community can be proud of.

Our team’s experience includes extensive work with a wide range of publicly funded projects, including libraries, park and recreational facilities, transportation and maintenance facilities, offices, exhibits, and more.

Walnut Creek Branch Library

David F. Trevino | FAIA, Capital Projects Portfolio Manager

“Because of their efforts, VLK, as a partner with the City of Garland, has been a good advocate and steward for the cultural, community, functional, and financial needs of both the project and the City. We believe this level and type of sensitivity to positive community impact represents the best of what architecture firms should aspire to have in their practices.”
