Darling and McCormack Announced as Principals at SMMA
January 17, 2024
SMMA has announced two promotions to the role of principal: architect and Design Technology Manager Dave Darling, and Director of Administration Heather McCormack.
SMMA design technology dream-teamer and MIT School of Architecture and Planning master’s candidate Jamie Farrell has been selected as one of nine finalists in Flux’s 2015-16 Emerging Architects Design Competition. His submission, “Live Google Earth,” is a Revit-Flux-Rhino-Google Earth workflow prototype that will allow stakeholders—designers, policymakers, planners—to examine future built environments by observing design development in real time.
Young adults in the communities of Ashby, Pepperell, and Townsend are now one step closer to occupying the modern high school they deserve. SMMA-designed North Middlesex Regional High School celebrated its topping-off ceremony on Thursday, a milestone marking the structural completion of the new 181,000-square-foot facility.
Most everyone, by now, has at least a passing familiarity with green building and the notions of sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship. Less known is the fact that many communities—both in the U.S. and abroad—are applying these concepts and principles at the neighborhood level, forming what are called “EcoDistricts.” Proponents hope that, by addressing city sustainability efforts on a micro scale, transformative, macro-level results can be achieved.
SMMA’s Melanie Chamoff, an interior designer in the firm’s Corporate and Commercial Studio, was recently featured in the New England Chapter of the International Interior Design Association’s IIDANE Wire newsletter. A graduate of the organization’s Emerging Leaders program, Melanie talks about her decision to pursue a career in interior design, her creative inspirations, and her proudest achievements to date.
