Background
SSA was first established in New York City in 1983 by Scott Simons, FAIA and has since produced a body of work that includes institutional, academic, and residential projects. The studio is credited as designer of the LEED Platinum certified Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Bosarge Family Education Center in association with Maclay Architects. It became the "greenest building" in Maine. SSA is also the architect of record for the 2010 renovation and addition to the Portland Public Library, many other Maine libraries, educational buildings, and the 2014 renovation and addition to the "transformational" Casco Bay Lines Ferry Terminal. Staff from the firm have also participated in juries for national library awards. The work of this firm has been recognized nationally for innovative design, attention to joinery, inclusion of multiple stakeholders on public projects, and is seen as one of the key architects in the area. Currently, Scott Simons Architects is developing a Master Plan for the Portland Museum of Art, which includes a 1981 addition designed by Henry N. Cobb of I.M. Pei & Partners.
