BHDP has assisted us with renovation projects and expansion projects at our old campus. When it came to the new establishment of the campus in Mason, we had no one else to go to except BHDP. It was not a question of using someone else; it was a reasonably long-standing relationship that we’ve had in the past.

John Groom, President at Vega Americas, Inc

BHDP brought exceptional expertise to the table, navigating complex requirements and delivering innovative solutions that enhance both academic and research environments. I wholeheartedly recommend BHDP Architecture to any institution seeking a design partner that combines technical excellence with a client-centered approach. Their work has made a lasting impact on our campus, and it was a pleasure to work with them throughout the process.

Orlando Chambers, Associate Dean for Administration, Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment at the University of Kentucky

The EGD team at BHDP is hands down the most professional, effective, capable group we work with. As a fabrication/implementation company, we truly appreciate the care, accountability and ownership your team possess with every project. We feel BHDP works with us to bring our best, for your clients.

Peter Hauser, Executive Director at Site Enhancement Services

BHDP was able to creatively work with CareSource and the project construction manager to bring the best value to the project without compromising quality.

Carol Beausay, Former Director of Real Estate and Facilities Management at CareSource

BHDP Architecture has consistently been willing to find solutions to challenging problems, which generally arise when considering renovations to buildings upwards of 100 years old. Based on my experience with BHDP Architecture, I would strongly recommend them for consideration for any future projects. I am confident they will provide tremendous value at every stage.

Allan Mark, Former VP for Administration, Finance & Operations at Belmont Abbey College
