Tracy Anderson and Dan Knight have been collaborating professionally since 1989, and have over 60 years of combined experience. Working together for over a decade before founding their own firm (Anderson Knight Architects) in 2002, the two have developed a finely tuned partnership that generates well-crafted, imaginative architectural designs.
In 2008, Action Pact and Anderson Knight Architects created a strategic partnership for the purpose of advancing the person centered care model within senior living organizations through design and innovation. As a firm, AKA possessed deep and diverse experience, nimble scale and a willingness to learn each facet of the senior living industry from the ground up, which attracted Action Pacts attention.
Over the next five years, with an emphasis on advancing each facet of person centered design, the founders of Action Pact and Anderson Knight collaborated on dozens of engagements for the benefit of their clients. From completion of integrated pre feasibility analyses (IPAs) to the delivery of comprehensive design services for retrofit, augmentation and new ground-up construction.
In order to provide their clients with an integrated menu of services, Action Pact and Anderson Knight Architects completed a strategic merger in 2013, creating Action Pact Design Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Action Pact Holdings, LLC.
As the company grew year over year, and with an expanded geographical base of clients it was decided earlier this year (2017) that Action Pact Design Group was to relocate the HQ office to Kansas City, to better position the company to serve a national audience. As a result of their deep connection and commitment to their community, Dan and Tracy therefore made the decision to re-establish Anderson Knight Architects (AKA). This transition was completed in April of 2017.
