Office Manager

LLB Architects, located at the Design Exchange in Pawtucket, RI, and in Worcester MA, is a full-service architecture firm with a diverse array of projects and clients. We believe that architectural design is the tangible end result of a rigorous process that, when truly integrated and successful, creates buildings that seem timeless as soon as they are built. This process depends upon an office that is as well run as our projects.
