CWA AIA, Inc. is a leader of innovation in library architecture. Since our inception in 1949, we have designed over 40 libraries in southern California and surrounding areas. We are pioneers in design, transforming a library into a center for educating and enriching the community. CWA was started when Charles Walton was given the project of remodeling the Brand Library and Art Gallery for the City of Glendale in 1949.
CWA's work in Parks and Recreation demonstrates our strength in conceptual design, as well as our ability to integrate design into a community. We go beyond requirements and expectations to develop the space into an experience for the community. CWA has recently completed several recreational projects.
When designing and planning civic buildings, CWA strives to incorporate the long-term development goals of the client. Most CWA projects involve more than one singular structure. Oftentimes, projects include other city buildings such as libraries, police stations, offices and recreation. The work involves phasing projects and taking the bigger picture into account.
