In early 1991 Bill Silver and Dean Petrucelli met over breakfast at White’s Diner in Bridgeport to discuss partnering to form Silver, Petrucelli & Associates (S/P+A). Rooted in Hamden, the firm focused on the principles of practical architecture and was incorporated on October 1, 1991. A simple logo adorned the wooden shingle at the firm's first offices at 3127 Whitney Avenue. S/P+A teamed exclusively with Sgorbati & Associates for M/E/P/FP engineering so uniting the two successful and growing firms in 2006 was a natural next step. Many of the original team of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineers remain with S/P+A today. By 2009, the FF&E component of so many projects commanded the addition of a focused interior design department to bridge the client’s vision with fixtures, finishes and equipment. A construction administration (CA) division was also soon designated to provide a more focused effort on the most critical stages of the building process and to be a liaison between contractors and owners. In 2016, Bill, Dean, David, Ken and Bob, principals of the firm, lead a year-long celebration of a landmark achievement - twenty-five years of service. Over the course of twenty-five years, Silver / Petrucelli + Associates has evolved into an award-winning, multi-disciplined firm with a diverse portfolio of projects in nearly every Connecticut community. In 2019, Amanda Cleveland, NCIDQ and Christopher Nardi, AIA were named principals of the firm.
