McLean Architects' history is rich with design for education. From district-wide feasibility studies, to exploration of options for building & renovation programs, to design and construction, we have the experience and judgment required of architects for twenty-first century learning. McLean Architects, LLC is proud to be the architect for the Watson Institute's New Education Center South in South Fayette, Pennsylvania. The Watson Institute, which opened in January of 2017, serves children and youth with special needs, including those with autism spectrum disorders, neurological impairments, and emotional challenges.
McLean Architects LLC continues a legacy of eighty years of architecture. Beginning in 1932 with the practice of Pittsburgh architect Paul F. McLean, parent firms have kept the practice family-owned throughout its history. Victor R. Graves, nephew of Paul McLean, took over the practice in 1959 and remained a partner until 2012 in the practice of Graves & McLean. Now, the project history, client list, and library of work has been passed seamlessly as they have since 1932. The McLean name brings the practice full circle.
