A word from our clients.....


"Mr. Casey was very helpful in finding out what our business needs were and helping us lay out a plan to meet those needs. The scope was huge, the details overwhelming and the deadline very tight. ...They took our priorities and applied them in the order we needed them to be applied so that the project would enhance our ability to do business. Mr. Casey did not try to force their ideas on us. His group was not married to a certain look or to neat-sounding ideas that we didn’t really need. They did enhance the ideas we had, and when we weren’t sure, they gave us a starting place.

He gave top-priority to end-user needs...His group provided us solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner. He works well with our general contractor ... he is clearly working to protect our interests. He is prompt and timely - we always feel like we are his top-priority. ... This firm has performed in an exceptional manner for us. ... The Casey Associates have helped us plan and implement a solution to a mission-critical business need.”
Jerry Hall, executive vice-president, Jack Henry & Associates


“The Springfield Public Schools used his expertise in the design of educational facilities to solve problems as well as create innovative learning spaces which will serve our community far into the future..... The new Drury library, designed by Allen, is not only one of the most beautiful buildings in Springfield, but is an extremely flexible educational facility that incorporates classical design with contemporary technology.”
Ed L. Payton, Past president, Springfield Public Schools Board


“The service provided by The Casey Associates was outstanding. Their responsiveness enabled the bank to open ahead of schedule. Several problem issues regarding the sites were resolved quickly by Casey. I would highly recommend The Casey Associates for any commercial building project.”

“Designed by Springfield architect and Drury alumnus Allen R. Casey, the Olin Library with its detailing, windows, arches and pediments, (is) reminiscent of existing Drury buildings yet has a character of its own. The F. W. Olin Library is the focal point of the campus...”
Dr. John Moore, President, Drury College


“In every case, The Casey Associates performed any task given them very well. I highly recommend them for your consideration.”
Steve Stepp, President, National Audio Company


“The Board challenged Mr. Casey and his staff to maximize the present facilities through renovation and integrate these facilities into new construction to create a learning environment that will prepare Strafford students for success in the 21st Century. Mr. Casey and his staff did an excellent job of designing renovations for the traditional buildings and creating new space through additions and new construction.

The Board accepted his recommendations and adopted the master plan. Using this master plan, the Board campaigned for passage of a $3.3 million bond issue. The Board's confidence in Mr. Casey's work was reaffirmed by the voters approving a 90 cent levy increase.”
James K. Tice, Superintendent, Strafford R–VI School District


"Allen Casey is a talented and gifted architect who is sensitive to the needs of his client. He has considerable experience in planning, and he listens to what an institution is trying to achieve. His designs and suggestions are always most helpful, and I have found that the dialogue with Allen has invariably improved our planning.”
Stephen H. Good, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Drury College


“Their promptness and special attention to detail and meeting of delivery schedules has surpassed our initial expectations. We have found their firm to have exceptional communication skills which makes working with them very productive and effective. Overall proficiency has proven to be their most valuable asset with Boatmen's.”
Mary Frerking, Vice–President, Bank of America, formerly Boatmen's Banks


“Mr. Casey fully understood education operations and how to design a facility that efficiently and effectively met essential educational functions. He was skilled in creatively capturing the personality of a school environment in ways that made very nice artistic statements. Our citizens committees were always pleased with the high quality statement and creative design he produced within whatever the budget happened to be and with his ability to grasp the personality of the community or the personality and architectural design of the former building to which a major project was being attached.

I was particularly pleased with the immediate access to Mr. Casey... Our staff also greatly appreciated the number of options that Mr. Casey provided for our consideration and his flexibility. He was willing to present initial ideas, listen to all questions and feedback, and return to us numbers of times with ideas customized to meet what he had heard from us. Throughout all of the dialogues, Mr. Casey's flexibility was apparent; yet, he clearly advised us on that stability, feasibility, or cost effectiveness of ideas that we had or changes that we would like to have made.”
Dr. Joyce A. Dana, Superintendent, Marshfield Reorganized Schools, referring to work for the
Springfield Public Schools while serving as Deputy Superintendent


“Your active involvement in the Strategic Planning process not only was beneficial to the District, but also demonstrated your skill in working with a variety of issues in different settings and bringing about consensus on very difficult issues.

We have also been pleased with your ... planning of prototype plans for our elementary media centers, the Jeffries Elementary School project and the Hillcrest gymnasium. ... you worked in a very effective manner with various committees and special interest groups to bring about effective plans."
Dr. Arnold Greve, Superintendent, Springfield Public Schools
