Barbara A. Campagna/ Architecture + Planning, PLLC (BAC/A+P)

Our third segment of Pointing About Town finds us visiting our first Professional Services company, Barbara A. Campagna/Architecture + Planning, PLLC (BAC/A+P). This also happens to be both the office mate to Illuminate and our sister’s firm. All in the Family as the saying goes!

BAC/A+P provides both traditional architecture services and specialized preservation and planning services. The firm’s projects range from individual building restorations to historic structures reports to the master plans and management plans of multi-building complexes that include National Historic Landmark buildings and cultural landscapes to National Register nominations. Projects in the past year have been located across the country in Buffalo, NY, Jamestown, NY, Toledo, OH, Washington, DC, Lenox, MA, and Long Island, NY.

Barbara has been a practicing Architect for the past thirty (30) years. She is the recipient of the National AIA (American Institute of Architects) Young Architect of the Year Award (2002) and was elevated to Fellowship in the AIA in 2009 as “the leading national architect and policymaker for the integration of preservation values into green building practices.” She also received the Henry Hobson Richardson Award, AIANYS, 2020. She relocated her firm in 2012 to Buffalo, NY after living in New York City, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Winston-Salem, NC. She is a native Buffalonian with degrees from the University of Buffalo and Columbia University.

Today, she shares office space on the fourth floor of the Tri-Main Center and keeps a commercial office downtown in a large work/loft space on Main Street. She recently was part of the team chosen for completing the Master Plan for the Central Terminal (see main photo) and has worked on the H.H. Richardson Campus, Northland, Eliza Quirk Building, and Paramount Lodge locally. As a young Architect working for a larger corporation, she completed the National Register Nomination for the Village of Ellicottville and most recently, for the Larkin Historic District. Look for her construction vest and purple and white hardhat the next time you are out and about any of the myriad of historic buildings our region is privileged to steward.

Barbara enjoys spending time traveling, reading books with a cat audience, and, of course, taking walks with her canine nephews, particularly, The Marquis de Lafayette. She can be contacted at bcampagna@bcampagna.com. Barbara continues to make Buffalo Better one Building at a Time!
