Elkus Manfredi Architects is a design firm providing architecture, master planning, urban design, interior architecture, programming and workplace consulting. The firm was founded in 1988 by Howard F. Elkus FAIA, RIBA, LEED AP (d. 2017) and David P. Manfredi FAIA, LEED AP.[1]

The firm focuses on creating community and sustainable environments through design and master planning (the firm is a signatory to the AIA 2030 Commitment framework for sustainability).
Elkus Manfredi is also noted for its work planning and designing for innovation and innovation districts. CEO and Founding Principal David P. Manfredi has said, “[Innovation districts] thrive on interaction, and what that means for universities and the private sector is that they are suddenly in the business of building the public realm…. One of the fascinating things about innovation today is that innovators want to be around other innovators, and we need to create spaces where they can think and work in public.”[4]
