We proudly announce the retirement of Bob Schaeffner, marking the culmination of an extraordinary 44-year career with the firm.
Bob’s impact on PAYETTE has been both profound and lasting. Since joining the firm in 1981, Bob has authored 32 completed buildings, received over 80 (national and regional) design awards, and has been a tireless steward of the firm as a Principal and Board Member for more than 30 years.
Perhaps more than his extraordinary competence and leadership, Bob is known for his warmth of personality—for being that undeniably fun friend you always wanted to be around. He embraced, unapologetically, the idea of having it all: rigor and joy, seriousness of purpose and genuine fun. That spirit will be missed most of all.
