Everyone deserves a chance to participate. This is the driving idea behind the work of SSA, Inc. (SSA). It is an idea made evident in the design of exceptional educational facilities and civic buildings, in sensitive, barrier-free architecture and planning solutions that fully support the needs of every individual using each space. Founded in 1980, this 15-person, award-winning architecture and planning firm is known for work that meets clients' goals with precision and creativity while exhibiting a heightened attention to the needs of people with disabilities. SSA offers complete architectural services from concept development through construction administration and enjoys statewide recognition as one of the foremost providers of access compliance services. Additionally, SSA has consistently led the industry in applying the concepts of Universal Design to real architectural solutions. Emphasizing attention to detail in all aspects of a project – from the cost estimate to the selection of materials – SSA has had great success on even the narrowest budgets, creating distinctive spaces that provide enjoyment and pleasure to the people they serve.
