 Rob Winstead, AIA, LEED
 | Director of sustainable design
Rob's unique interdisciplinary perspective offers our firm the opportunity to pursue a design process that works to integrate architecture into larger social and ecological systems. As VMDO's Director of Sustainable Design, Rob views the design of educational facilities as an opportunity to focus on environmentally sensitive design and high-performance building strategies. Rob believes that these strategies help to provide the highest quality educational environments and facilitate an understanding of a particular place through the language of architecture.
