What does it say to the larger community??

A versatile designer, he has experience with project types including educational facilities, campus master plans, workplaces, transportation facilities, and residences.
Clients come to know Michael as a trusted collaborator and imaginative problem solver on projects that transform institutions, neighborhoods, campuses, and companies. He has worked on numerous award-winning projects including American Institute of Architects (AIA) regional and national awards, including an AIA Honor Award.
