is a high-touch design firm committed to creating dynamic, supportive PreK-12 environments. 

As laypeople, the members of the School Building Committee needed help and guidance to create a school that would be inspiring and reflect the values of Orange, a working-class town in need of transformation. As part of this effort, the Fisher Hill School is the largest project we’ve ever undertaken. RDA’s expertise helped us understand the complexities of our existing site and our fiscal realities, all the while guiding us along the path to fulfilling our vision. Their ability to listen deeply and respond gracefully has enriched our entire project. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with a designer who sincerely cares about our families and our town. RDA encouraged us to hold to our original vision, and to maximize what we were able accomplish within our fixed budget. The end result is that we were able to provide our students and staff with a completely transformed PK-6 community asset!
