Norman B. Kuhn and C. Edgar Newcomer founded our firm in 1945 as a regional healthcare and education design practice. Over time, we evolved into Valentour English Bodnar and Howell (VEBH) and now operate as DRAW Collective. We continue to serve communities in and around Western Pennsylvania while expanding our leadership through the empathetic design of spaces focused on healing, learning, and collaborating. We build on our strong foundation in healthcare and educational architecture as we elevate the design experience of these highly specialized facilities through forward-reaching, creative solutions for both new and long-term clients.
