Ready...Set...Shovel!

Construction on the Middlefield Memorial School Renovation has officially begun! This project will renovate the existing 47,000 square foot building and include a significant two-story, 60,000 square foot addition, transforming the Middlefield Memorial School into the Three Oaks Memorial School for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5 students.

The modernization will upgrade classrooms, technology education, performing and visual arts, assembly and community use areas, and much more. The new campus is designed to serve as a community hub and a model for school upgrades across Connecticut.

Congratulations to QA+M’s own Rusty Malik and Carson Collier, along with the entire project team, on reaching this exciting milestone. We can’t wait to see this remarkable new school come to life!

The ribbon has been cut and the units at Berkowitz II are ready to become homes!

As the architects on Berkowitz II, every decision was made with quality, safety, and affordability at the forefront. The 28 affordable units range from studios to two-bedroom apartments, featuring modern finishes, energy efficient windows, and ENERGY STAR appliances. Before construction was even complete, all 28 units were already allocated to individuals facing financial insecurity or escaping domestic violence.

To commemorate the occasion, many key figures of the project attended the ribbon cutting ceremony, among them Sharon Castelli, CEO of Chrysalis Center, New Britain Mayor Bobby Sanchez, Connecticut Department of Housing Commissioner Seila Mosquera-Bruno, and Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz. QA+M's own Kent McCoy and Tom Arcari were on hand to see their hard work open to the New Britain community.

As Mayor Sanchez stated, "Projects like this strengthen neighborhoods, revitalize downtown and remind us that when we invest in people, we invest in the future of the city."

Congratulations to everyone on the project team who made Berkowitz II a reality!

We are excited to welcome Melissa Izzio, IIDA to QA+M Architecture as our newest Interior Designer!

For Melissa, design is about understanding each client's story and transforming it into a space that feels unmistakably their own. By listening closely and responding with clarity and intention, she creates environments that are functional, meaningful, and deeply connected to the people who use them.

Outside of work, Melissa has climbed an active volcano, driven across the country twice, and taught herself to be ambidextrous. We are so glad to have her on the team and look forward to the impact she will make!

We are excited to announce that construction has officially begun on the Glastonbury Nye Road Affordable Housing project, now known as Hillside Village!

The QA+M team was joined by CHFA Managing Director of Multifamily Pat Giuliano, State Department of Housing Commissioner Seila Mosquera-Bruno, Governor Ned Lamont, and many others to celebrate this exciting milestone. The $36.7 million development will replace an underused office building at 55 Nye Road with 64 units of affordable multi-family housing across 19 residential buildings, a community building, and parking for 106 vehicles.

The development will feature 24 one-bedroom units, 28 two-bedrooms, and 12 three-bedrooms, with 13 assisted living units administered through the state Department of Social Services. Eighty percent of units will be designated affordable, with the remainder at market rate. Construction is expected to take 18 months.

We are proud to be part of a project that will make a meaningful difference for the people who will call Hillside Village home, and grateful to all of the partners who helped make this groundbreaking possible!

Proud to share that two of our projects have been recognized by the CBC's 30th Annual Project Team Awards!

First Place - Healthcare Small: Beacon Hill Medical Center, Southington CT

Completed in 2025, the Beacon Hill Medical Center is home to Comprehensive Orthopedics in the Southington location. In this growing community, there was a dire need for MRI services and limited access to orthopedic care. Through constant communication, collective expertise, and extraordinary collaboration, the Owner, Contractor, Architect, Engineers, and Design Team transformed the clinical space into an inviting hospitality experience while providing the medical access needed to support the community.

The 24,000 square foot building presented a steeply sloped site challenge, but the final design turned that into an asset by providing ground level access to both floors of the 2-story structure. In addition to core and shell design, a 14,000 square foot interior fit-out included orthopedic treatment and exam rooms, support spaces, x-ray rooms, and a complete MRI facility.

Award of Merit - Pre-K through 12 Schools: North Branford High School, North Branford CT

The New North Branford High School is a testament to what true collaboration can accomplish. From early planning through final turnover, every partner worked as a unified team, navigating complex site, phasing, and technical challenges to deliver a state-of-the-art school on time and under budget.

The 107,000 square foot high-performance building supports 21st-century learning featuring specialized amenities to meet the needs of a growing technology education and career-track student population. The design includes flexible learning commons, dedicated areas for the arts and music, fully equipped science, engineering, and technology labs, a gymnasium, fitness center, locker rooms, and additional classroom space.

Thank you to the Connecticut Building Congress for recognizing both of these fabulous new facilities, and to everyone who helped bring these projects from initial design to reality.

We are thrilled to congratulate Mike Lane, AIA, LEED Green Associate, on his promotion to Associate Principal at QA+M Architecture!

Over his 13 years with our team, Mike has brought dedication, creativity, and a deep commitment to meaningful design to every project he touches, from K-12 schools and municipal buildings to housing developments.

"My passion for architecture comes from the ability to design spaces of any scale and then see them come to life, shaping how people experience, interact with, and connect to the world around them."

We love a project that lets us stretch our creative muscles, especially when the result helps you flex yours.

We recently completed the Beacon Hill Medical Center, the new home for Comprehensive Orthopaedics! The 14,000 square foot office features multiple orthopedic treatment and exam rooms, support spaces, x-ray rooms, and a complete MRI facility.

Surround yourself with AMAZING WOMEN every day. We do!

We are proud to celebrate International Women's Day by recognizing the incredible women who help shape the schools where students learn, the community centers where neighbors gather, and the housing that strengthens our neighborhoods.

Our firm reflects a core value we hold deeply: that diversity and inclusion make us better at what we do. Different backgrounds and perspectives push us beyond conventional thinking and lead to more creative, thoughtful design solutions. The work we deliver to our clients is stronger because of the variety of voices and experiences that shape it.

To the women of QA+M, THANK YOU for everything you for inspiring us every single day!

With great power comes great responsibility… but last night, it came with a trophy and bragging rights!

We had an incredible time at the AIA Connecticut Masked Marvels Bowling Night. The QA+M Heroes suited up, answered the call, and came out to save the day.

The Villains of QA+M may have caused some havoc along the way, but at the end of the night our caped crusaders came home with not one, not two, but three awards to add to our collection: Highest Scoring Team, Highest Scoring Woman, and Most Creative Attire.

Whether we are at the office or the bowling lane, we always have great frames!
