Hear what former clients and partners of Endler Architecture and Collaboration have to say:

“Patrick was able to navigate and unite the priorities of many stakeholders, with a thoughtful, team approach. He successfully coordinated a new, sustainable design method helping the Housing Development Corporation deliver an impactful, community asset and homes to many.”

– Eugene Brady, President, Housing Development Corporation of NEPA

“Pat worked closely with us to reimagine how existing buildings could be repurposed and, in some cases, renovated at modest expense, in order to make them entirely suitable for new and important functions. His vision on how building design would blend most effectively with the campus environment resulted in additions to the campus that have since served the University extremely well.“

– Loren ‘Chip’ Prescott, Jr., Vice President and General Counsel, Wilkes University

“As superintendent, I relied heavily on Pat’s leadership. We trusted Pat as the lead professional of our multi-firm Design Team to speak during Public Board Meetings, Hearings, etc. He was an asset for our District.“

– Dr. Brian Costello, Superintendent of Schools, W-B Area School District

“It was my pleasure to work with Patrick Endler on a number of planning and design projects for Wilkes University during my tenure as Vice President of Finance & Operations. Wilkes was faced with operational challenges that required careful and creative planning and design. Equally important was Pat’s attention to budget and project timeline – in both cases, the University received exactly what was promised.“

– Loren ‘Chip’ Prescott, Jr., Vice President and General Counsel, Wilkes University

“Pat was always accessible to our team throughout the years-long process. I can recall many times speaking with Pat during off-hours or even weekends where he made himself available to work through any questions, concerns, or ideas I may have had.“

– Dr. Brian Costello, Superintendent of Schools, W-B Area School District
