Rochester, NY According to SWBR, Tom Thompson has been promoted to construction administration department manager. Thompson now manages the firm’s in-house construction administration team, which ensures accuracy and integrity of the project design through project completion.

Thompson brought significant client-based construction management experience to SWBR when he joined the firm as a construction administrator in 2020. In his new role, he is responsible for managing the construction administration phase, including staff supervision, procedure training, and performing field visits to ensure that projects are meeting the design intent and clients’ expectations. He received a Bachelor of Arts and Science in education from Syracuse University and a Master of Science in project management from Boston University.

“In addition to his considerable construction administration experience, Tom is a dedicated client relationship manager,” said SWBR president Tom Gears, AIA. “His commitment to focusing on the customer, and the customer’s stakeholders, aligns with our mission to positively impact lives through meaningful design.”

Additionally, Elizabeth Reynolds, AIA, project architect at SWBR, has completed the required exam and is now a WELL Accredited Professional (WELL AP).

Administered by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), WELL is the leading tool for advancing health and well-being in buildings globally. New and existing buildings can strive to achieve the standards set forth by WELL to receive a Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification for their project.

As a WELL AP, Reynolds works with clients who are interested in pursuing a WELL certified project and helps them design healthier and more focused buildings using the established WELL standard. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Architectural Technology from SUNY College of Technology at Alfred and has been with SWBR since 2017.
