Giving back to our communities in-kind.
Since its founding, LS3P has been committed to pro bono work for a broad range of community partners, including over 40 pro bono projects since the launch of Design in-Kind. These projects have ranged in scale from a small signage plan to a conceptual design for a large affordable housing development; each project is important to the organizations in need of design assistance to further their missions. The firm has pledged to donate up to 1% of its design hours to in-kind donations of design services.
Our work has included several international healthcare projects through the International Federation of Healthcare Engineers, working with the WHO’s Techne program to provide rapid assistance with COVID facilities in Burkina Faso, Haiti, and other developing countries. We worked with GoDesign in Savannah to design a women’s and children’s hospital in rural Uganda which recently won an American Architecture Award; we have also completed small projects for community organizations, churches, and schools helping to provide transitional housing, outdoor classrooms, playgrounds, and other facilities to help meet their program needs to better serve the community.
