DWL Architects + Planners, Inc.
Founded in 1949, DWL Architects + Planners has grown from a two-man, residential design partnership of Richard E. Drover and Frederick P. Weaver to a large regional practice. In 1969, Weaver & Drover reorganized as Drover, Welch & Lindlan Architects, and in 1984 became known as DWL Architects + Planners, Inc. DWL is one of the oldest locally owned and operated firms in Phoenix, Arizona.

Many familiar buildings in Arizona were designed by DWL. These include schools and colleges, such as the iconic Charles Trumbull Hayden Library and Wells Fargo Arena at Arizona State University, 35 Valley National Bank branch offices, Burton Barr Central Library (in association with Will Bruder), and Terminals 2, 3 and 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
