David Cole

Standards Manager, Project Architect

Over more than 20 years, David (he/him) has been responsible for design and production on a wide variety of project types across the country, strongly believing in a collaborative design process in which all stakeholders play a critical role, and that architecture of lasting quality is not merely a static object to be admired nor a consumer product to be commodified, but is sustainable in the broadest sense of the term and designed with the human experience at its core. David is drawn to Environmental Works because of EW’s nonprofit business model and community-centered approach to design, and in his spare time, enjoys exploring new places, photography, movies, and spending quality time with his cat Louie.
