Brent will be supported by Pearl McLin as Project Architect. Janani Kannan will serve as Interiors Project Manager, and be supported by Lisa Vien as Project Interior Designer.

Corgan offers the perfect balance of substantial firm resources with dedicated project -focused teams. The project will be managed from our Los Angeles office, with support from staff located in both Phoenix and Dallas on an as needed basis. Our standard practice is to staff each project with individuals who remain involved throughout the duration, seeing the project through to completion The team is formed to specifically address the needs based on project size, type, complexity and the client and will manage each project from inception to warranty walk-through. While a core team leads each project, Corgan will pull from resources across the firm to provide support in areas of expertise, such as specialists in furniture, move management, LEED, and ADA specialists. Additionally, all architectural and interior design services are provided only by staff employed by Corgan. This method allows us to maintain consistency and quality control for all Corgan projects. The following pages outline our approach to, and output of, each project phase. Project Start-up At project start-up, our primary effort will be directed towards a learning process to fully understand City's vision for each on -call project, both in terms of objective and subjective goals. This includes not only a thorough understanding of the program requirements and budget, but also your understanding of the project and its impact. Design Development Using programmatic information, we will develop multiple conceptual designs. After reviewing and developing those designs with you, the conceptual designs and program will become the reference for the development of schematic plans and studies. As these are developed and refined, we begin detailed development of the project for compatibility with your needs; checking the design again your schedule, budget, goals, and ideas. We believe that the design recommendations should arise naturally out of its environment, the program and your aspirations rather than our preconceptions. Our distinct style is your unique vision. Focused Solutions Throughout the process, we encourage in-depth participation by your project team to confirm all project goals are met. In our experience, we have worked with multiple stakeholders and are able to respond to a variety of suggestions and opinions on a project while staying focused on the primary requirements of program, schedule and budget. We listen first, and our collaborative approach makes us a trusted partner. 25G-196 CHGAN I
