We Plan and Design Livable Communities
Promoting sustainability through community planning.
Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin, Inc. is a team of talented, passionate professionals who excel at planning, urban design, environmental services, landscape architecture and transportation planning and engineering.
Founded in 1974 as Glatting Brophy Shaheen & Associates, Inc., the firm has focused for decades on resource responsibility, creating sustainable communities that will benefit generations to come and developing solutions of lasting value. We design “in context,” with an eye toward how a project will blend and interact with its surroundings. We are committed to making communities better through the developments we help plan and design for our clients.
We serve regional, national and international markets with headquarters in Orlando, Florida and offices in West Palm Beach, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; and Denver, Colorado.
Pursuing our mission and vision.
Our mission is to plan and design livable communities. Our vision is to provide intellectual leadership and be agents for positive change in the community-planning and design industry. We pursue this vision by leading and presenting research, making presentations about our innovative work and publishing articles that provoke thought and conversation about new solutions to community issues.
Our experts in multiple disciplines share a belief in citizens as co-authors of their future. We are committed to collaborating with community members and other stakeholders in every project to help our clients create innovative, practical and enduring solutions for their unique challenges. Together, we are better.
We practice what we preach.
Glatting Jackson’s professionals believe that green-design principles are critical to sustainability and livable communities. In fact, we “live” green within our company and through our practice.
All of our offices are centrally located in downtowns, making them accessible and connected to their communities. Recently, we refurbished and moved into a historic building in the heart of downtown Orlando. We installed energy-efficient lighting and low-flow sinks and toilets. We also installed showers and changing rooms to encourage employees to bike or walk to work. In fact, across our four offices, more than 40 percent of Glatting employees walk, bike and ride public transit instead of driving cars to work. The company supports its employees leaving their cars at home by declining to provide free parking for employees, but paying 100-percent of the cost of transit passes, and providing secure parking for bicycles and scooters. In Orlando, our bike racks are located right in the lobby for clients and passersby to see.
Our 19 LEED Accredited Professionals and internal green team help the entire firm implement sustainable practices in our workplace, as well as through the projects we help our clients develop. The green team reviews projects, educates other employees about new and effective livable practices and seeks input from regional and national experts to help us continually learn and grow.
Throughout the office, we reduce paper consumption, and use 100-percent recycled paper for black-and-white copies, paper towels and bathroom tissue. That which we can’t reduce, we recycle. Each week, we recycle about 100 pounds of paper, ten pounds of aluminum cans and five pounds of plastic bottles. Switching to rechargeable batteries helped us reduce our consumption by about 100 batteries per week. Our cleaning supplies are “green” and we aim to reduce our baseline water consumption by five percent by 2009.
Resource responsibility is integral to our practice. We understand that the plans and communities we help develop today will lay the foundation for decades of responsible growth and resource management.
Our team is eager to help create solutions of lasting value. We’d love to talk with you about how we may help.
