Lenhardt Lolli & Rodgers Architects is the latest generation of a firm started in 1968 known as Mansell Lewis & Fugate, which developed a regional reputation for the design of facilities for worship and higher education. Shortly after its formation, this firm designed its first retirement community for the Evangelical Manor in Philadelphia, which remains our oldest continuing client. Since those early days, the firm has designed over 100 projects involving both new and renovated construction in this field.

Upon the retirement of Mansell and Fugate, Richard Lewis and Philip Rodgers became associated in 1980, and collaborated with one another for almost 20 years, forming the partnership of Lewis & Rodgers Architects in 1985. This partnership designed buildings for colleges, retail establishments, churches, various businesses, and retirement and health care organizations. Joyce Lenhardt joined the firm shortly after its establishment and became an associate in the mid-90s. During this period the firm became known to specialize in the field of Supportive Living Environments for the Elderly, which now comprises over 80 percent of our work.

In 1999, Joyce Lenhardt, along with Jim Lolli, the firm's other associate, and Philip Rodgers formed the latest partnership. We are a 14-person firm with 3 licensed architects, headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. The firm continues to specialize in the field of supportive living environments for the elderly. Along with our consultants, we represent a comprehensive architectural/engineering design team. Lenhardt Lolli & Rodgers ensures that with every project one principal is the primary contact person and maintains crucial involvement among the core group that is supported by project architects, intern architects, design, and technical staff. We enjoy working as a team with our clients. We offer a hands-on approach where thoughts and ideas are freely exchanged to benefit the project.

The firm employs outside engineering consultants for civil engineering, landscape architecture, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, and interior design, and organizes a design team of appropriate consultants for each project. Consultants are chosen based on their experience in a particular project type and familiarity with the locale, working under the direct supervision of the principal.
