The Richardson Olmsted Campus seeks volunteers to join its incredible tour team! Richardson Tour Chaperones and Docents are highly-trained volunteers who welcome visitors and lead site tours at the Richardson Olmsted Campus. These tours provide access to an iconic Buffalo building that has been locked away for decades and increase awareness about the Richardson’s rich history, current redevelopment, and architectural significance.
Successful tour team members are enthusiastic, flexible, and eager to engage with visitors of the Richardson. Multilingual candidates are particularly welcome.

Mission Statement
Reuse of the Richardson Olmsted Campus is the mission of the not for profit 501(c)(3) Richardson Center Corporation. Widely considered to be one of Buffalo’s most important and beautiful buildings, it is being adaptively reused as a hospitality venue and cultural amenity for the city. The Richardson Architecture Center, Inc. board, also a not for profit 501(c)(3), oversees the development of an architecture center for Buffalo.
Description
We envision the rehabilitation of the National Historic Landmark Richardson Olmsted Campus (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 Olmsted Campus 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.
