Chong Partners Architecture provides design services to institutional, health care and educational clients from its offices in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego and London. The firm has received numerous awards for its work in health care and urban in-fill structures.
In addition to serving as the 2002 national president of the American Institute of Architects, Chong has served as a planning commissioner responsible for project design reviews and has served on national design juries from Boston to Alaska.
