SMP is Expanding Our Team!
SMP Architects is seeking an architectural designer with a flexible skill set and interest in all aspects of the profession.
A compilation of SMP team members’ favorite reads so you can curl up with a delicious beverage and a good book as we rapidly approach Fall! 🍂
The list ranges from thought provoking non-fiction to urban design, some feel-good and interesting fiction stories.
What are some other books you would recommend?

Women represent nearly 50% of the nation’s workforce, but they currently represent only 27% of STEM workforce! (Census.gov, 2021)
The Riley Center for STEM Education at the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur intends to change that by preparing middle and high school aged young women to be creative and confident thinkers of the future. 👩🏭👩🔬👩⚕️
SMP’s design for the facility supports a collaborative approach to small team learning that has been identified as the means through which many girls excel in academic settings.
The project is featured in the current issue of the Context Magazine!!
