KBA Architects

Celebrating the Fourth of July and the spirit of community that brings us together. Wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday filled with family and friends. Happy Independence Day from KBA!

Welcome back to KBA, Dave! With over 20 years at the firm and a career shaped by diverse experiences, from parks and streetscapes to international work in France, we are excited to have his leadership, creativity, and collaborative approach back on the team. His passion for mentorship, hands-on project involvement, and lifelong learning continues to make a meaningful impact on our people and our work.

We’re proud to celebrate a meaningful recognition with the presentation of the Dean’s Medal to Chuck Boos, KBA CEO Emeritus, at the Roger Williams University Cummings School of Architecture. Recognized for establishing the first endowed scholarship in 2001 and for his continued commitment to its growth, this effort has helped inspire the creation of seven additional endowed scholarships to date.

It was a special moment to be joined by Tess Heilman, a fourth-year architecture student and one of this year’s KBA Scholarship recipients. We also congratulate Amalia Menasanch Gomez of Spain, the second 2026 KBA Scholarship winner, who will join the School this August.

This legacy of mentorship and support continues to create opportunities for future architects and strengthen the broader design community.
