“I would like to thank Irwin-Pancake Architects for their continuing involvement in Air Force Village West in Riverside California. As the largest single campus, Continuing Care Retirement Community in California it is imperative that our facilities be the best if we are to provide quality service to our 700 residents.

Your design for the expansion of the existing dining facilities and addition of a new dining room has provided real choices for our residents. The new cafe has created a place to socialize that is always busy with activity.

The new single family residences along with the additions to the Assisted Living and Alzheimer's facilities has given our residents opportunities to age in place with friends they have made during their military careers. We are currently studying Air Force Village West for future renovations and additions. You will certainly be an increment of our team as we have found your expertise to be invaluable.”

“Without your individual sense of urgency, I am not sure that the gala event would have gone as well as it did…. Doug, I still shudder when I remember you cleaning toilets and climbing out on a ledge to wash dirty windows. Your attitude of ‘I’ll do anything to help The Grove’ was certainly appreciated. You are also pretty ‘mean’ at hanging pictures in concrete walls!”
