Bringing intensity and enthusiasm to his work, Richard provides expert advice and design solutions for seismically upgrading healthcare facilities. He was a significant contributor to Degenkolb’s firm-wide initiative to prepare seismic surveys for hospital campuses throughout Southern and Northern California, in response to SB 1953. This effort involved surveying existing documentation, developing site overview information, and estimating costs for future seismic upgrade projects.
Richard has also designed laboratory buildings used primarily for medical and criminal investigations and was a member of the Degenkolb post-earthquake reconnaissance team that surveyed Padang, Indonesia in October, 2009.
