“Jan is the rare architect with multiple talents and vast experience in planning, technical design and project management for both healthcare and research projects”, commented Cynthia Walston, FAIA, principal in charge of FKP’s Science and Education studio. “Within our studio, we focus on life sciences design that promotes health, so Jan’s experience is a perfect fit.

Across all of our specialties – education, research and healthcare – discoveries are the key to success. Our planning and design revolves around creating the optimal environment for the intellectual collisions that lead to great discoveries.”
