Business Highlights: Peckham and Wright Architects is known around Columbia as a biking business that promotes healthy lifestyles for the community and the individual.

The firm has communal office bikes that employees are encouraged to use for errands and meetings throughout the work day. The office is supplied with a locker, shower, bike repair station, maintenance tools and a designated bike maintenance person. Employees who are new to the community are given help finding the safest, most bike friendly, routes and provided with maps of the trail systems and the best streets for biking. The firm grants employees flexible schedules to train for races or to fit in their workouts. They also sponsor MS150 teams and individuals. Peckham is having team jerseys made for all PWA MS15 team members to even further the bike camaraderie amongst biking employees. Encouraging cycling among their employees is consistent with their commitment to sustainability through architecture.
