Economy and sustainability are always paramount in his design work. “Along with meeting the client’s goals, I try to look ahead to how the project can also create a better community and be a good steward of the environment,” he says. Collaboration is key. “At the beginning of a project, everyone has a preconceived notion of what they want the project to be” yet as the various ideas and stakeholders come together, “we fulfill common goals and solve their problems with innovative solutions that stand the test of time. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.” A lifelong fan of science has led him to focus on the design of research and highly technical facilities. "It is very satisfying when you can provide a new home for a client who is saving the environment, improving public health, and keeping our communities safe," says Will.
