excited to welcome her back to the team as Project Manager. Through her 14 years of archi- tectural experience working in traditional residential and institutional design, Suzanne has gained a strong knowl- edge and appreciation of local architectural design tradi- tions. In particular, historic preservation and restoration have been the focus of her professional work. “We are absolutely delighted to have Suzanne back onboard our team!

He stressed the need for sustainable incentives to be done in advance when develop- ing/renovating office space. If architects and engineers work synergistically, he believes the aforementioned goal can be achieved.
