About UsRehabilitation of the Complex is the mission of the Richardson Center Corporation, a not for profit 501(c)(3) organization. The Board’s vision statement informs the rehabilitation process. The Richardson Architecture Center board, also a not for profit 501(c)(3), oversees the development of the Architecture and Visitor Center. Members of both boards are knowledgeable about Buffalo and have the spirit to do what it takes to move this project forward. Richardson Center Corporation Vision StatementWe envision the rehabilitation of the National Historic Landmark H. H. Richardson Complex (the former Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane), comprised of the H. H. Richardson-designed buildings and Frederick Law Olmsted-designed grounds, to be the crowning jewel of a mixed-use, multi-purpose civic campus of public and private activities. By combining contemporary ideas with our 19th century inheritance, we will create to the highest standards a nationally significant, 21st century, economically self-sustaining and environmentally sound Richardson Complex as a place for architectural, educational, cultural, and recreational activities for the benefit of the residents of and visitors to the Richardson Community, the Museum District, the Elmwood Village, and the entire Buffalo Niagara Region. Richardson Architecture Center, Inc. Vision StatementThe Buffalo Olmsted Richardson Architecture Center celebrates our region’s architecture, design, landscaping and cultural institutions. The center provides a setting for the public to learn and understand the artifacts, stories and significance of Buffalo’s more than 200 years of world class architecture and urban design. Located in the towers building of the National Historic Landmark, H.H. Richardson-designed former Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane, the center, recognizing the special place in which it resides, exhibits the history of society’s seeking to heal mental illness here for more than 125 years.
