ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
We seek candidates who approach architectural careers with professional drive and personal balance. What do we mean by that? To begin with, those who join Irwin Pancake Architects will participate at all levels of the process, meeting directly with clients and working closely with partners on high profile projects. At the same time, you’ll find yourself working for people who respect your personal and family time. We believe a balanced personal life gives you the power to meet the challenges of a rewarding career.
PROGRESS TOWARD AIA TEACHING FORM
We’ve dedicated ourselves to becoming one of the first firms to be certified as an official AIA Teaching Firm. The AIA Teaching Firm program, scheduled to begin in late 2006, is designed to:
Provide a foundation for a firm culture that values continuous teaching, learning, mentoring, creativity and innovation;
Provide the opportunity for each member of the firm to pursue their continuing professional development over a program that broadens their experience over time; and
Enable interns and emerging professionals to engage in a Practice Academy partnership with an architecture program.
