We're proud to be recognized as the #3 Largest Architectural Firm in the 2026 Worcester Business Journal Book of Lists! It reflects the incredible people who make up our team and the trust our clients place in us year after year.

This year's feature also highlights another significant milestone: Scott Richardson's upcoming retirement after nearly five decades of leadership and service. Since co-founding GRLA in 1976, Scott has helped shape not only our firm, but communities throughout Massachusetts. His vision, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to clients have built the foundation on which we continue to grow.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're equally excited about what's ahead. With new ownership, an exceptional team of architects, designers, and building envelope specialists, and a continued commitment to intelligent, sustainable design, GRLA is well positioned for the future.

Thank you to the Worcester Business Journal for the recognition, and to our clients, partners, and employees who have been part of this journey.

Here's to honoring our past while designing what's next.

This month we're recognizing two team members whose dedication, talent, and positive attitude help make GRLA a stronger firm every day.

Experience is meant to be shared. Every expert was once a beginner.

This week, Building Envelope Sciences Project Manager Nima Mansour is training intern Myah on one of the specialized tools used in our Building Envelope Sciences practice—the wind machine used for window air and water infiltration testing.

At GRLA, we believe the future of our profession is built one mentor, one lesson, and one project at a time.

Celebrating Future Leaders and Future Thinkers

As part of GRLA’s year-long celebration of our 50th Anniversary, we were honored to award scholarships to recently graduated Hopkinton High School seniors Isabella Rottas and Dylan Andreola.

This year’s scholarship challenged students to respond to the essay prompt:

"Describe how the built environment can support both environmental responsibility and human well-being, now and in the future."

The thoughtful and inspiring responses reflected the creativity, insight, and commitment to sustainability that will help shape the communities of tomorrow. As a firm dedicated to designing spaces that serve people while respecting the environment, we were proud to recognize students who share these values.

Congratulations, Isabella and Dylan, on this well-deserved achievement. We wish you the very best as you begin your next chapter and look forward to seeing the impact you will make in the years ahead.

We're still basking in the fun, laughter, and glow of Friday night's 50th Anniversary Celebration—and we have plenty of photos and memories to share in the days ahead!
Today, however, we want to pause and say thank you to everyone who brought nonperishable food items to support Project Just Because
Your generosity was incredible! Together, you filled our GRLA van with donations that have now been delivered to Project Just Because, helping provide food and support to local families in need.
What began as a celebration of GRLA's first 50 years became something even more meaningful—a way to give back to the community that has supported us throughout our journey.
Thank you for helping us turn our anniversary celebration into an investment in our community's future. ❤️

Congratulations to our co-founder and principal, Scott Richardson, on receiving the Leadership Appreciation Award at the Leadership Metrowest Annual Leadership Celebration on June 11.
The award was presented by retired Leadership MetroWest Executive Director Helen Lemoine, recognizing Scott's decades of leadership, service, and commitment to strengthening the MetroWest community.
For more than 40 years, Scott has been a champion of thoughtful design, community engagement, and mentorship. His impact extends well beyond architecture through his support of civic organizations, dedication to developing future leaders, and passion for creating places that enrich the communities they serve.
As GRLA celebrates its 50th anniversary and Scott prepares for retirement at the end of this milestone year, this recognition is a fitting tribute to the lasting impact he has made on our firm, our profession, and the region we proudly serve.
Please join us in congratulating Scott on this well-deserved honor!
