Embracing The Wisconsin Idea
Nestled between two lakes, our Madison office is located in one of the two biggest U.S cities built on an isthmus. Just like the water of Lake Mendota and Monona, the Madison Design Office is ever ebbing and flowing, adjusting to client needs.
The City of Madison is known for a variety of things from Wisconsin’s largest institutue of higher education, to the abundance of high-tech companies, to hosting the world’s largest brat fest every year. Madison is brimming with promise and opportunities to help clients and make a positive difference, which is why, in 1998, we established our Madison Office.
Since 1998, the Madison Design Office has seen many changes in the city and has had a hand in shaping its shores and beyond. From the reaches of work with the Marathon School District to design and construction of nearby Madison Fire Station No. 11, and from luxury residential high rises to local grocery stores, the work of the PRA Madison Design Office consistently adapts to the unique needs of each client, working tirelessly to fulfill aspirations and complete client visions.
