As Blitch Knevel Architects, LLC enters its 65th year of architectural practice, Ron Blitch, FAIA, FACHA and Ken Knevel, AIA are excited to announce new leaders and majority owners of the firm. Vanessa Schneider, AIA, NCARB, CDT and Allison Looper-Chalmers, IIDA, NCIDQ will lead the Blitch Knevel team into the next chapter of its history of providing award winning architecture and interior design to our Healthcare, Senior Living, and Educational clients throughout the United States as a Women-Owned Small Business.
