WORN JERABEK ARCHITECTS Information

Worn Jerabek Wiltse Architects was formed in 1991 and specializes in housing and long-term healthcare settings. The firm has successfully completed more than four hundred projects in the Midwest. These projects include more than four thousand units of affordable family, affordable seniors, and market rate housing. The firm brings special skill and knowledge to the areas of accessible design, evidence based design, and sustainable design. We are familiar and comfortable with the many requirements of regulatory and funding agencies. We value fully collaborative, highly integrated, and productive teams that include all the stakeholders in a project, including owner, architect, end users, engineers, contractors, suppliers, and consultants. Bringing this group together early in the process leverages expertise and allows all team members to expand the value they provide to the project. These teams are guided by principles of open information sharing and mutual respect. Team success is defined as project success. We value high performance building solutions. High performance buildings minimize the use of resources: water, energy and materials throughout the life cycle of the project. High performance buildings are healthy for the end user, for those who construct, and ultimately for the planet. We value design that accommodates people regardless of age and ability. Our work promotes equal opportunity for use by individuals with or without disability. We value and build long-term relationships with our clients. The success of this philosophy can be seen in the significant number of projects completed for repeat clients.
