MHM is continuing its strong relationship with The University of Tennessee (COAD).  In addition to participating as project review critics throughout the semester, several members of our team teach graduate & undergraduate level architecture courses, and our Vice President, Margaret Butler, currently sits on the college’s Board of Advisors.

Through our collaboration with the college, we have had the opportunity to see firsthand the COAD community’s ability to pivot and continue to move forward this semester.  We are extremely inspired by the end of the year by its talented students and staff.  More than ever, we offer our congratulations to the graduating class of 2020!

STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED

MHM Office Zoom Meeting.jpg

While offering flexibility for our employees to work from home, we’re finding new ways to stay as connected and productive as ever.

Weekly firm-wide Zoom gatherings are giving us an opportunity to connect as a community, check-in on our friends, and maintain an open dialogue about the issues we are all facing.  The flex-setup has also given us an opportunity to explore exciting new technologies.  Weekly “SpeedCrits” have allowed us to collaborate on multiple projects through new Concept Board technologies.  We’ve been able to gain great insights and input from our whole team. 

While we look forward to being together again, we are inspired daily by our partners, clients, and teams’ creative and innovative collaboration.
