Bio
Chris Mundell AIA, LEED Fellow
I was glad to catch Mark’s presentation on Storm Shelters. Our firm works on projects that now require storm shelters. So it was very helpful to learn about all the key requirements in the design and construction of the shelters. Anyone that needs to know more about storm shelter design should listen to Mark’s presentation!
David Polkinghorn
Mark led a lunch and learn at our office on Storm Shelter Design. His presentation was very informative and provided a good introduction on the general requirements for this type of project, with lots of lessons learned and real world examples included. Mark has a clear passion for the subject, which he supplements with experience and project specific knowledge. This makes him a highly credible source. I enjoyed seeing the construction and finished project photos he provided, along with some stories about coordination and design challenges that his team faced. I think those type of stories are especially valuable when discussing this specialized niche in the building industry. Mark’s expertise added both to the enjoyment of the presentation, and also our eagerness to work with his team on a project, should an opportunity arise.
