Moseley Architects | Architects in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina

Moseley Architects was founded in 1969 with just two employees. Since then the firm has grown organically and through a series of mergers and acquisitions to over 180 employees and has a project portfolio spanning eight states.

Moseley Architects is the only architectural and engineering firm in the region devoted to serving public sector clients, and one of only a few such firms in the nation. With teams specializing in K-12 schools, higher education projects, civic/governmental buildings and correction/detention facilities, Moseley Architects addresses the needs of local, state, and federal government for high-quality, cost effective planning, design, and construction-related services, exemplified by the firm’s selection for the Virginia Excellence in Government Award and the United States Senate Productivity and Quality Award.

With offices in Richmond, Harrisonburg, Virginia Beach, Warrenton, Raleigh and Charlotte, Moseley Architects provides master planning, architecture, engineering, interior design, security systems design, corrections and detention consulting, sustainability consulting, and construction phase services to public sector entities in the Mid-Atlantic and South. The firm’s philosophy has always been first to thoroughly understand the needs and goals of those who will occupy and use the buildings it designs, and then to collaborate with clients to develop uniquely effective design solutions. The expertise gained through such interaction, combined with respect for clients’ budget needs, has consistently resulted in award-winning but affordable projects and a high percentage of repeat clients.

Moseley Architects is a recognized leader in the area of sustainable “green” design and has received numerous awards and distinctions in the field. Its list of “green firsts” is impressive. Among them are the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Gold elementary school in the world, the first LEED Gold recreation center in the Southeast, the first LEED certified higher education building in Virginia, and the first LEED certified correctional facility in the world. The firm’s Richmond office building was awarded the United States Green Building Council’s highest green building certification, LEED Platinum.
