General Practice
SFCS's general practice design services anchored the firm's business during the first several decades of its history. Architectural landmarks of the Roanoke Valley such as the Boxley Building, Grandin Theatre, and Roanoke YMCA were designed by SFCS architects, as were numerous churches, banks, residences, and other project types.   A good example of SFCS's ongoing relationships with its general practice clients is Allstate Insurance Company. SFCS has designed architectural and engineering renovations in Allstate's Regional Operations Center since 1987, adapting the Center for a steadily growing employee base and upgrading all building systems to take advantage of technological advances.

Government
Another staple of SFCS's practice has been new and renovation projects for various government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. Clients have included the U.S. Navy, United States Postal Service (USPS), Department of Veterans Affairs, General Services Administration, Virginia Department of Transportation, and multiple Virginia municipalities.   We have worked under continuous indefinite delivery contracts for the USPS, as well as designed individual postal facilities, for over 15 years.

Hospitals & Clinics
SFCS's commitment to healthcare was formed early in our firm's history and has been an integral part of our success for nearly 60 years. Since the early days at SFCS, designing for local and regional hospital clients has been a large part of the firm's focus. SFCS has successfully planned and designed hundreds of projects for healthcare clients. From new hospitals to the renovation and expansion of existing hospitals, to clinics, cancer and rehab centers, labs and medical office buildings, SFCS has provided cost-effective, cutting-edge design solutions for the medical community.

K-12 Schools
SFCS specializes in the study, planning, and design of educational facilities.  This firm has completed nearly 350 projects at elementary, middle, and senior high schools throughout Virginia since the firm's founding in 1920.  SFCS has proven knowledge of the requirements and procedures of the Virginia Department of Education and other review agencies.  Our years of experience working with educational clients have made us especially sensitive to the needs of students and teachers.  The physical space and technology must be designed to stimulate the desire to learn, create, contribute, achieve, and excel.  We are committed to providing our youth with this type of environment while simultaneously providing teachers, administrators, and staff with the environment they need to foster this growth.

Wellness & Fitness Centers
SFCS has designed comprehensive wellness/ fitness centers for healthcare, retirement, and education clients. With the renewed national focus on holistic wellness (mind, body, and spirit), we are adding, expanding, and integrating wellness components for numerous clients. These designs include spaces for a full spectrum of activities:   clinics, therapy gardens, barber/ beauty, massage, aromatherapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapy pools, lap pools, hot tubs, juice bars, cafés, bistros, fitness/ exercise spaces, chapels, computer labs, and classroom spaces for lifelong learning.
