Since taking on the role of in-house accessibility assessors and program managers for the CHA in 2023, the HUSARCH team built a comprehensive foundation for managing the CHA’s accessibility portfolio. We developed a system to track and monitor open unit issues across the portfolio. We brought clarity, consistency, and usability to a complex system, so that the CHA could better serve its residents.

HUSARCH assessed 1.5 million square feet of US Federal office buildings along the East Coast – including offices for HUD, the GSA, and Social Security – delivering three Building Evaluation Reports (BER).

As project managers on the Chicago Public Schools Biennial Facility Condition Assessments under BVNA, we provided continuous team leads, building exterior assessors, interiors assessors, and accessibility accessors to evaluate current conditions of the entire Chicago Public School building stock, including 700 school buildings and over 70 million square feet.

HUSARCH serves as the lead facility assessors for the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) conducting 450 Property Needs Assessments (PNA) across CHA’s residential portfolio.

As critical facade examiners at the Armour Square Apartments - two buildings with eight stories - HUSARCH visually inspected and sound tested both buildings through 18 swing stage drops, creating two openings per drop.

HUSARCH evaluated the accessibility of various polling locations in preparation for the 2022 election across the city of Chicago.

As the Architect of Record for isolated renovations of the Lawndale Community Academy, Charles Hughes Elementary School, Gregory Elementary School, and Marshall High School buildings, HUSARCH’s work consists of providing accessibility solutions for polling spaces, paths of travel, main offices, and toilet rooms.

HUSARCH was contracted by HED to conduct a material analysis of products for a project for the Housing Authority of Cook County. We researched the Enterprise Green Community standards and applied that knowledge to a review of proposed products.
