Firm History
Woods Group Architects (WGA) is the largest minority-owned architecture firm in Arkansas. Founded by Ron Bene' Woods, the company is one of only a handful of firms in the state with an in-house team of architects, NCIDQ-certified interior designers and construction inspectors, some of whom have 30+ years of specialized experience.
Woods opened his doors in the fall of 1992 after winning a much coveted contract for a 40,000 square foot Multi-Purpose Complex for Philander Smith College (PSC), Arkansas' oldest Historically Black College. The success of the complex led to the subsequent awarding of PSC's 30,000 square foot Myer L. Titus Academic Complex in 1994. Woods Group Architects was recently recognized in the December 2017 edition of interiors+sources magazine. |
