In Memoriam: Andrew P. Adornato, AIA, LEED AP, CDT, CPHC
Principal, USA Architects, Planners and Interior Designers, Ltd.
To Our Friends and Colleagues,
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved colleague and Partner, Andrew P. Adornato, who passed away on May 2, 2025, following a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Andrew—“Andy” to many—was more than a gifted architect and respected business leader; he was a trusted mentor, a loyal collaborator, and a true friend to all who knew him.
Since joining USA Architects in 1998, Andy brought a steadfast commitment to design excellence and integrity in every project he touched. In 2016, he became a Principal of the firm, playing a vital role in our continued growth and in shaping the next generation of design professionals. His unwavering dedication to his clients, as well as the faithful mentorship of emerging architects, will remain a cornerstone of his legacy.
Andrew leaves behind an indelible mark—not only on our firm and our projects, but also in the hearts of those who had the privilege of working alongside him. As we move forward, we remain committed to honoring his memory by continuing the work he so passionately believed in and by fervently supporting the clients he served with such devotion. His impact on our team, our clients, and our work is immeasurable.
We are grateful for your continued support, patience, and respect for Andrew’s family during this time of mourning.
With deepest appreciation,
Paul, Armand, and Denise
