Job Description

ACSW is seeking an experienced Healthcare Architect / Planner for our growing healthcare studio.

About ACSW Architects

ACSW is a fun, fast-paced environment built on relationships and great design. The stated goal of the office is to create a team environment where everyone contributes, and everyone is included. Every project should be a challenge and while a high degree of individual focus and commitment is expected, the environment is fun and fast-paced. This highly collaborative and fluid environment not only results in successful projects but the rapid growth of individuals within the office.

In addition to Healthcare, our work varies in scale and complexity across multiple archetypes with several $20-$40 million-plus projects in the office at the same time not being unusual. However, the scale of the project is not our measure of success. It’s the relationship that comes from it. Hearing a client with a small project say that we made them feel like it was a priority, is why we do what we do.
