OWP/P, celebrating its 44th year, is located in Chicago and Phoenix. The fully integrated firm serves clients throughout the country in education, corporate, healthcare, civic and mixed-use developments with the professional services of a 350-member staff providing architecture, interior design, engineering, planning, consulting and design/build services. In December 1998, OWP/P was honored as the Firm of the Year by AIA Chicago and received the first Distinguished Firm Award from the AIA Illinois Chapter in 1995.

Team members for OWP/P include Trung Le, Steve Salzer and Andrew Gilles. Trung Le, AIA, is a principal and the design representative for the firm's education group.

Currently, he is designing an elementary school for Chicago Public Schools.
