Casey ChapinAIA, LEED AP BD+C

Project Designer

Irvine, California

Casey leads LPA’s integrated design teams in crafting sport and recreation environments that champion health, wellness, community, and sustainability. Casey’s enthusiasm for designing active spaces shines through in projects that include athletics master plans, tracks and fields, aquatics, kinesiology, gymnasiums, recreation centers, wellness centers, and athletic training and competition facilities.

From experience, Casey understands the specific challenges and complexities of these projects. "These environments must accommodate active and athletic occupants, fast-moving humans, heavy equipment, flying balls, and the daily lives of diverse communities,” he says. As a former Project Architect, Casey understands that "God is in the details" of every great project. This attention to detail is even more crucial in sport and recreation projects, where the stakes are high and the environments are dynamic.

Casey thrives on leading a team of professionals with the experience and expertise necessary for designing these complex projects. "I love leading a team and I have a passion for incorporating every client’s programmatic requirements, as well as their DEI and sustainability goals into one beautifully functional place that celebrates and supports lifelong active lifestyles."
