On the past 2 1/2 years I have been working as project architect for our office development in the Scottish Borders (The Borders Innovation Park), which is now onsite.In addition to my architectural role, I take on a series of business development roles in the office including developing the companies approach to sustainable design, enhancing the office culture, updating the companies HR policies and running the staff training calendar.

The Nucleus project forms a key component of the King’s Buildings masterplan, a central teaching and learning building in the heart of the campus. Sheppard Robson were appointed from Stage 2 onwards of Phase 1, picking up from a feasibility study which identified the key components of the brief for a three phase development. Phase 1 consisted of six lecture theatres, studio classrooms, study areas, retail and cafe outlets. Following further consultations with users and heads of teaching, additional area was added for study catering and teaching, with provision brought from future phases brought forward for Phase 1.My role was to lead the architectural team, presenting design development to the University of Edinburgh through the user meetings or consultations during Stages 2 and 3, gathering their comments and relaying them back to the wider team. With Sheppard Robson as lead consultant, I was responsible for organising design team and progress meetings, and working with the consultant team to develop their design information for Stage 2 reporting. I have also been responsible for identifying and preparing scopes of work for additional services (e.g acoustics and fire engineering).

Project: City of Glasgow College, Riverside & City Campuses.The new CoGC Campuses make up one of the largest further education infrastructure investments in Europe. Spread over two sites in the city centre of Glasgow, the project brought together two of Scotland's leading architectural practices, Reiach and Hall and Michael Laird Architects, in a collaborative effort. As the lead designer, the architectural practices lead a multidisciplinary team including Arup, Hulley and Kirkwood, Rankin Fraser, Graven Images and Studio LR. I played a role over both campuses, developing and coordinating significant work packages as well as leading the coordination of the key atrium space at Riverside. In addition to design responsibilities, I was responsible for the mobilisation of the BIM models for the project with continued oversight of Riverside until completion. An additional role that I played was the coordination and organisation of BREEAM information from the architectural team, with three separate accessments for the City, Riverside and Riverside Halls of Residence buildings.Project: NDA Archive, Wick, UK.The archive, developed in partnership with Highland Council, will house more than 70 years’ worth of historic information from across UK’s civil nuclear industry, along with records from the North Highland Archive.My responsibilities on the project involve the preparation and issuing of all architectural construction information, along with the development of the BIM model.
