Blackwood Associates, Inc. (BAI) was
originally established as a West Virginia Corporation in 1959. The firm was incorporated
as L.D. Schmidt & Son, Architects and Engineers, under the direction of the late Louis
D. Schmidt. In 1967, James Blackwood joined
the firm as an intern architect and project designer. In 1972, James Blackwood became
vice-president of L.D. Schmidt & Son and then assumed the presidency of the
Corporation in 1975.
In 1981, the Corporate name was changed to Blackwood Associates, Inc. Architects and
Planners, to reflect the practice ownership. Since that time, the firm has maintained
leadership in the design of state-of-the-art educational, medical, commercial,
residential, and recreational facilities. BAI has successfully completed over
800 projects
with a construction value in excess of $500 million. These projects are located in West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia. Individual project construction
budgets have varied from as little as $5,000 to a high of $30.0 million. Blackwood

professionalism applies to every Blackwood Associates, Inc. project and client.
