From ancient Greek temples to today’s soaring skyscrapers, the art and science of architecture has shaped our world. Architectural design has advanced over the centuries as new materials, techniques and tools have evolved. However, the role that architecture plays in transforming vision into reality remains the same.
At WT Group, our Architectural Design practice is a key component of our single-source, turnkey approach to client service, delivered by an accomplished team of professionals. And it’s why we are pleased to be celebrating October as National Architecture Month.
In this edition of your newsletter, we take a closer look at some of the factors that make architecture one of WT Group’s most important strengths – from mentoring young architects to enabling the time-management needs of team members preparing for one of the nation’s toughest state licensing exams. We also look at how WT Group helped a new business merge seamlessly with the architectural character of a charming, Illinois community.
With the air turning brisk and the leaves beginning to fall, we wish you and your family an enjoyable October as we look ahead to the approaching holiday season.
Thank you for your interest in the WT Group.
Troy Triphahn
President, WT Group

Prior to partnering with WT Group, Road Ranger utilized a small, local architectural firm on a limited project basis. As the travel center chain’s demand began to outpace its growth, it became necessary to partner with an A&E firm that could keep pace with this growth trajectory. Download our latest case study to learn how WT Group was able to standardize the development process for future Road Ranger stores while providing expertise in a variety of disciplines.
