Background
Chris places ultimate value on collaboration. He synthesizes the responsibilities of each team member to smoothly integrate structural with other disciplines to streamline the process as each project moves forward. With KPFF since 1998, Chris has developed a wide range of systems knowledge that provides him with a flexible palate and the ability to assess an appropriate resolution. His structural systems expertise provides him with the tools to coordinate architecture, budget, and the construction schedule. His skill was invaluable on the progressive design of Wayne L. Morse Courthouse in Eugene – an award-winning building showcasing intricately constructed, curved metal facades. Chris helped devise creative solutions to meet federal security and stringent seismic requirements within the complex geometry of this signature public building.
