WAP is pleased to announce that Leejung Hong, LEED AP and Lisa McCabe Hobbs, AIA LEED AP have been appointed to Principals of the firm. In their roles as Principals, they will direct and oversee the design studio’s projects and manage the day-to-day operations of the firms’ two design workshops.
Leejung Hong, LEED AP, was previously the Studio Director and has been with the firm for 12 years, working on various projects such as master planning and building designs for both academic institutions and private developers. Lee has always tackled complex responsibilities smoothly and effectively in both architecture and various planning assignments.

- King and Henry: 4 buildings across two sites in the heart of old town which features an automated parking garage.
