SHP recently announced the addition of David Powell, AIA, LEED AP, to the Education studio in the firm鈥檚 Columbus office.
He joins Team SHP as a senior project manager/project architect. With Powell鈥檚 deep experience in the K-12 market both nationally and internationally, he鈥檚 expected to bring another level of vision and leadership to the firm鈥檚 PK-12 Education studio.
Powell graduated from Ohio State University in 1990 with a BS in architecture and he earned his master鈥檚 degree from Miami University in 1995. Most of his time since then has been spent in Chicago, where he worked for several well-known firms, including Perkins & Will, Cannon Design and Wight & Company. Most recently, Powell served as the Project Director for Whittle School and Studios in New York City.
鈥淎lthough I have lived and worked in Chicago for most of my career, I was born and raised in Columbus, attended Ohio State, and on football Saturdays, I鈥檓 known to spend quality time shouting at the television and explaining to my children why that鈥檚 necessary,鈥 says David. 鈥淚 am thrilled with this opportunity, and I can鈥檛 wait to see what the future holds.鈥
