RICHARD LEHNER, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP

To Richard Lehner, one of LCMs’ three founding Partners,
what is so great about Universal Design and Accessibility
is the long term effect it has on the users of the buildings.
A building designed or renovated to be accessible to all
creates inclusivity – increasing productivity for society and
enabling people to live better lives.
