Established in 1979, the organization has evolved into a multiregional leader in planning, design, and engineering.
Led by seasoned professionals, McAdams sits at the intersection of planning, design, and engineering—blending land use, infrastructure, and landscape into cohesive projects.
Typical projects span municipal parks, educational campuses, commercial centers, transportation corridors, and stormwater systems.
Their design palette ranges from urban streetscapes and multimodal transit planning to green stormwater infrastructure and wetland restoration.
Standout work includes major regional efforts like the Duke University stadium renovation, River Walk at Central Park in Texas, and ecological infrastructure in North Carolina towns.
