About Us

What it means to be Mosaic

Like the art form that inspired our name, Mosaic brings an array of beautiful and functional facets together to create something meaningful, lasting and inspiring. We want to create space for learning, but not just that: it’s important that we infuse that space with inspiration and empowerment for every person who passes through it. Designing for education is truly a labor of love for us, and it’s reflected in the care we show to each client and every project.

People

It takes a certain kind of person to devote their life to designing for education.
Someone who sees architecture as a calling, not just a job. Who believes in the power of spaces to transcend. Who devours continuing education and trends to elevate the work. And who does what’s right, in addition to what’s good.

Legacy

What’s in a name?

We’ve asked ourselves that. Since our founding in 1865 by Charles E. Loth, we’ve had 12 different names, but they all had something in common – they stood for quality, for service, for vision.

A history buff? Take a tour of ours below, through the people and buildings that are our legacy.
