    • Cannon Design

      May 2009 - May 2012
      Associate Vice President / Project Architect

      I was brought into Cannon by colleagues with whom I had previously worked at Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott. My position as a Project Architect at Cannon Design afforded me the opportunity to work on several interesting and diverse international projects including a new soccer stadium complex - Lansdowne Park in Ottawa. This stadium is part of a very large multi-faceted redevelopment / developmental project which includes multi-use retail / residential development. Prior to this project my focus had been on various healthcare projects. The Koc University Health Sciences Campus in Instanbul, Turkey is a brand new 150,000 SM hospital & medical school complex. The Cannon team with colleagues from the NYC & St. Louis offices developed the Conceptual and Schematic Design which was then brought to realization by the associate architects, Kreatif, in Istanbul.Waypoint Mental Health Center is a high security facility for the criminally insane in Pentaguishene Ontario. The Boston office collaborated with the Grand Island office on this project with the Boston team developing the exterior skin and core.In 2010, I had an extend work opportunity in Cannon's Vancouver office for a new P3 hospital complex under construction in Fort St. John. My focus was on 2 long term care residential "houses". My first project with Cannon was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the campus of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center. I worked on the design of a 12,000 SM royal Hospital, a 19,000 SM ED & family medicine clinic and a 9,000 SM renovation for VIP clinic and in-patient suites. Show less
