Federal Solutions

Protecting, Sustaining, & Advancing Our Nation

As war became imminent in 1941, RS&H’s founders came together to establish one of the first full-service architecture and engineering firms with the singular goal of aiding in the nation’s effective mobilization efforts. Since then, RS&H has supported United States federal agencies in achieving their missions.

In our eight decades of experience, we have delivered new construction, renovations, repurposing, and commissioning projects across the country and overseas for agencies including Department of Defense agencies such as the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Army, as well as federal agencies such as the Department of Energy, Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and National Park Service. Whether designing administrative and community support buildings, high-performing mission support facilities, or critical airfield infrastructure, we are committed to supporting our nation’s military personnel.

Our experienced, integrated teams leverage in-depth knowledge of all agency criteria and standards to effectively deliver cost-effective, sustainable solutions that meet your agency’s mission.

RS&H is ready to partner with you to help achieve your goals.
