FITZSIMONS OFFICE OF ARCHITECTURE, INC. 112 Weat Third Street Lexington, Kentucky 40508 859.243.0838 tel 859.226.9283 fax Fitzsimons Office of Architecture, Inc. was incorporated in 1995 by Gregory Fitzsimons, CAO and President. Mr. Fitzsimons has been prac- ticing architecture for more than twenty-five years. He prefers a small practice and has developed a firm based on direct contact with all as- pects of a project. The office is a flexible, teamwork based studio that allows us to work on large and small projects by sharing the work load. Greg’s years of experience, the qualities of the firm members, and excel- lent client relationships have lead to successful projects. The majority of our projects are required to be reviewed and approved by the Kentucky Heritage Council and/or the National Park Service. This firm’s greatest strength is the design of sensitive modern additions to and the renovation of historic buildings. FOA has received several awards from the Kentucky Heritage Council and the Division of Historic Preservation LFUCG. We have worked on a wide variety of buildings and structures including log forts, log houses, dry stone mills, historic schools, theatres, museums, courthouses, facto- ries, fire houses, and even an overlook at High Bridge. FOA has completed the first phase of the renovation of the Old Fayette County Courthouse for the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG). One of the most significant courthouses in the state, the build- ing will be restored in phases. The first tenant is the Lexington History Museum. For 2005 we are also working on Courthouses in Bourbon and Washington Counties. We are working with the cities of Lebanon, Vanceburg, Olive Hill, Lexington-Fayette County Urban Government and Springfield on renovation projects involving historic buildings being used for new community programs. The firm is involved with urban housing and infill development with projects at 132 E. Third Street, 120 E. Third Street and the rehabilitation of the former Kimball House Motel, a group of eight Victorian houses bridging between the University and downtown. In 2004 we finished the renovation of the Springfield Opera House, the Loudoun House and the first phase of the old Olive Hill School Renova- tion. Other recent projects include exterior repairs and additions to Fay- ette County Schools Central Office, repairs to the old Woodford County Middle School, several building renovations at the Pine Mountain Settle- ment School, exterior repairs to St. Joseph Church in Winchester, and St. Peter & Paul Middle School Renovation in Lexington. Institutions such as Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, May- ors, Fiscal Courts, Kentucky Heritage Council, Commonwealth of Ken- tucky, UK Capital Project Management, and National Trust for Historic Preservation have hired FOA to work on a wide variety of feasibility stud- ies and renovation projects. We have been fortunate to be hired for repeat projects with these clients, demonstrating our ability to complete projects according to the schedule and budgeted funds. Firm Organization FOA is organized horizontally, enabling each firm member to take part in all phases of a project, from marketing to construction administration. Our firm has been built on providing the best client service possible. We believe everyone from an intern to principal should have a firm grasp of knowledge of every facet of the practice, from good design skills to archi- tectural drafting, to cost estimating and building technology issues. We are fortunate to have good working relationships with consultants for mechanical and electrical design, civil engineering, landscaping, light- ing, and special building types; food service, museum, library, theatre and other specialities.
