At ADS, we have developed lasting relationships with many of our clients. Their confidence in our staff, and their satisfaction with the services we provide has been the basis for our continued success. These are the people who know us best, and they are our best references. We urge you to contact them and learn for themselves what sets ADS apart.

"I have been particularly pleased with their efforts and ability to involve many people in the design process, including administrators, teachers, staff and parents. They are accessible and willing to address our schools' individual needs rather than promoting boilerplate solutions. Their expertise in designing educational facilities is outstanding."
Tim Amos
Assistant Superintendent, Asheville City Schools

"We have a small campus so we need architects with creativity and vision. ADS has provided the innovative thinking that we need to make the most efficient use of available space. The architects at ADS spend a great deal of time in determining our needs and providing creative building designs, which fulfil those needs at minimum cost."
Russ Slipher
Business Manager, Carolina Day School

"With amazement I have watched ADS turn these old buildings into state-of-the-art schools for the 21st century. In some cases the successful blending of old and new has been nothing short of a miracle. Through their efforts we have preserved an invaluable connection with the past, saved money, yet provided our students and teachers learning spaces that truly embrace the future."

Retired Associate Superintendent, Asheville City Schools

"Proving to be extremely worthwhile to me is ADS' expertise, running the full gamut of educational programming, educational specifications, site planning, and master planning for elementary, middle, and high schools. Coupled with their well-versed background in these areas is their good track record of budget development and maintenance of the stipulated budgets."

Director of Facilities, Buncombe County Schools

"A visit to Rosman Middle School, Rosman High School or Rosman and T.C. Henderson Elementary Schools will reveal the capacity of ADS to design both functional and aesthetically pleasing buildings...I wholeheartedly recommend their services to my fellow educators."
