Our Mission

The mission of Lauer-Manguso & Associates

Architects is to efficiently provide cost-effective

design excellence to our clients, with focus toward

aesthetics and environmental concerns through the dedication

and support of our design professionals, while striving to uphold our image, quality, performance and reputation

within the community.

Construction is under way on Phase II of the Buffalo Transportation / Pierce Arrow Museum, located at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Seneca Street in downtown Buffalo. The centerpiece of the design is to include the construction of a Filling Station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Lauer-Manguso & Associates first designed a museum addition with an outdoor courtyard for the Filling Station. The design evolved and currently incorporates the Filling Station within a nearly 50 foot high clerestory space with a balcony, allowing for year-round visitor appreciation.

Additionally, the museum is capable of handling as many as three separate special events or accommodating large public gatherings for as many as 1450 people. A 2400 sf. kitchen is provided to serve these events. A single elevator will connect the main gallery and the balcony; the balcony leads to two outside patio spaces.

Phase III of the project will include an enclosed vehicular entrance, allowing indoor ramping within the sloping site, an additional outdoor patio, expanded exhibit space, as well as, additional museum archive and vehicle storage.

Interior Rendering - Frank Lloyd Wright Filling Station

Facility Consolidation Project – Interior Space Planning & DesignFor an international firm that specializes in printing related services, LMA has provided space plan utilization, office cubicle layout, MEP interface, and various interior design services, to consolidate three separate facilities into one building. These office and production spaces, located at three separate remote sites, were relocated into one 110,000sf existing building.

The design intent was at first function driven, but with the existing spaces being so unusually high, the design shifted toward creating dynamic volumes and features to utilize the open expanses. Large halo like rings were suspended over cube shaped meeting rooms with oversized sculptural pendant lights illuminating the space below. These elements were further emphasized with bright vibrant colors.

Circles became the counterpoint to the rectangular building wings, being featured in the carpet, wall coverings, and light fixtures. Each wing was given its own identity by alternating the color palate and the existing connecting corridors were upgraded with a playful checkerboard patterned VCT flooring, and walls painted with light hues of blue and green.

Lauer-Manguso & Associates has been assisting Solar Liberty in its commitment to promoting energy independence through widespread installations of grid-tied photovoltaic solar energy systems. Providing the structural roof analysis, solar panels have now been installed on over 70 buildings in the WNY area.

Nearing completion is our third senior residential housing unit in Kirkwood, New York, designed for 3d Development Group, LLC. Thirty-two units provide residents with private living room, kitchen, and the option of one or two bedroom apartments.

Currently under design is the renovation of Daemen College’s existing library into a Center for the Performing and Visual Arts. This total interior and exterior redesign includes energy upgrades for Silver LEED rating.

After a five year absence the Department of Motor Vehicles has returned to the Northtown Plaza in Amherst, NY. Lauer-Manguso and Associates was retained to provide the tenant build-out for this new office space. The new location is a pleasant surprise for customers, providing a large comfortable seating area and ticket system, as well as, wall monitors showing the estimated wait time.

Lauer-Manguso & Associates Architects has been retained by Nicolettes Restaurants LLC to bring a new Cheeburger Cheeburger restaurant to the McKinley Mall. Cheeburger Cheeburger is a national chain specializing in Creekstone Black Angus Beef burgers, and it’s “zillion” shake flavors.

Walgreen’s PharmacyWalgreen’s, a Fortune 500 company and the nation’s largest retail pharmacy chain, continues to expand its presence into the Western New York area. Now under construction are two new locations - Greece, NY and the corner of French and Borden Roads in Cheektowaga.

Doodle Bugs! continues to expand their services in Western New York with the addition of a new 11,000sf facility on Sheridan Drive in the Town of Clarence. LMA has been working with Doodle Bugs! for the past three years in continuing to upgrade and improve a “prototype” building that ideally achieves the owners goals. Some key design goals are: meets all regulatory laws and regulations relative to child care; the building should be fun, exciting and educational for children; easy to maintain and operate; ensure the safety of children; provide for indoor and outdoor childcare activities, and establish a “Doodle Bugs!” identity. This project was a finalist in this year’s Brick by Brick Awards, presented annually by Business First.

Fresh MarketWith the help of the LMA design team, The Fresh Market store chain has expanded into the Northeast region opening its’ first store in Latham, New York. The Fresh Market, now in nineteen states provides unparalleled product selection, expert customer service and an inviting shopping environment reminiscent of old-world European markets.

Construction is now complete on the Town of Lancaster - Town Hall Addition. The existing town offices were located within the historic Lancaster Opera House designed by George J. Metzger. Lauer-Manguso & Associates working in collaboration with William Schutt & Associates replaced an existing garage located behind the Town of Lancaster Opera House with a two-story, 6,900sf addition which will house offices for the Town Supervisor, Finance Department, Town Attorney and Assessor offices. Special attention was given to match the new addition to the 115 year old Opera House in both materials and architectural style.

Green Infrastructure Requirements

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has recently updated their requirements to obtain a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit. Every project that will disturb one or more acres during construction must now incorporate “Green Infrastructure” devices into the site design. These devices include the use of native plant materials, bioswales, rain gardens, green roofs, stormwater planters, rain barrels, cisterns, porous pavement areas and infiltration basins. Credits will be given for each green infrastructure device utilized, which will be applied to a minimum required total number of points required to obtain the SPDES permit.

Lauer-Manguso’s site design team has been ahead of the curve on thisissue by already routinely incorporating green infrastructure devices into our stormwater management designs. The photos shown here illustrate a bioswale and infiltration basin designed with native trees and meadow grasses for the new Doodle Bugs! Child Care facility in Clarence, NY.

Other recent examples of green infrastructure devices in our project work include a green roof designed for a future elevator and lobby addition in downtown Buffalo, NY (reputed to be the first such installation in the city) and the inclusion of porous pavements for the Center for Visual & Performing Arts at Daemen College in Amherst, NY.
