MINNAPOLIS, Minn.– Nobody likes talking about problems on design projects, but Ellerbe Becke’s Jon Buggy takes the subject head-on in a recent Contract magazine interview. Buggy, a health sciences principal with Ellerbe for more than 15 years, addresses four main areas where problems tend to arise: “project costs, aesthetic/design choices, communication and client leadership. ”

His approach to heading off problems includes designating a project point person where “the buck will stop” and establishing solid lines of communication between the design team and the client. Click here to read the article’s full text.

He is active in the AIA as Secretary for the Minneapolis chapter, and serves on the AIA’s Academy of Architecture for Health.
