Gwaltney Fleming, Inc., a Richmond-based architectural, interior design and general contracting firm, has renovated—at no cost—key areas of the Greater Richmond ARC’s headquarters on Westwood Avenue on Richmond’s north side. These include the organization’s lobby and Infant and Child Development Services (ICDS) offices. In addition, Gwaltney Fleming has enlisted the pro bono support of several generous area contractors including Acorn Sign Graphics, Atlas Carpet, B&L Floorcovering, Capital Interiors, Citywide Decorators, picture framing by Custom Framing Made Simple, Dominion Interior Supply Co., Dunlap & Partners, Hix Heating & Air Conditioning, JCF painting, JL Minter Electrical Contractor, Inc., Lee’s Carpets, Markel Corporation, MP Barden & Sons, Inc., Mohawk Carpets, Patcraft Commercial Carpet, Shaw Contract Group. ARC is very grateful to the companies and their staffs for their guidance, hard work and support. Without their generosity, the renovation project would never have become a reality.

The Goal
The goal with the ARCspace project is to provide a friendly, supportive atmosphere for both children and their families, many of whom are working for the first time with a development disability. ICDS, one of four core service areas of the Greater Richmond ARC, provided specialized services for approximately 370 children and their families in 2005.
Brendan Fleming, the firm’s owner, is especially sensitive to the needs of children and their families: her firm was recently honored by Working Mother magazine as one of the 25 best small companies in the U.S. to work for. The selection was based, in part, on the firm’s family-focused workplace environment – a value she is bringing to ARC in the new space plans. Gwaltney Fleming’s proposed ARCspace plans call for better space utilization, direct travel paths, and more efficient work areas.
