Charles A. Graham, Jr. AIA, NCARB (Chuck)

RESUME Introduction Chuck is a Principal Architect with over 40 years of experience on a wide variety of projects across the U.S and abroad. The work has included all phases of architectural work, from programming and master planning, through to record and construction drawings and project closeout. Leadership roles have increased with each new project. Currently, he is responsible for all architectural projects, acting as project lead architect. This role requires Chuck to coordinate personnel working in the local office and in remote offices. Chuck’s work ethic is to allow the software do the work, while the architect assures quality control, accuracy, and completeness. This ethic and his general architectural experience has led him, not only to design expertise, but to highly efficient document production, with special attention to details. Education

Relevant Experience

Current experience with Autodesk Revit includes the complete generation of 3D virtual models, enabling accurate coordination with other disciplines and extraction of detailed construction information. The work includes the creation of families commonly used by the company, as well as the production of company standards. Chuck created over 200 door families for use in the industrial sector, as well as over 100 wall styles. The walls embed such information as materials and fire rating UL numbers, and wall type numbers for tagging and scheduling. Proficient software experience: Microsoft Office Suite, Revit, Speclink+, Trimble SketchUp, and Renditioner. Substantial software experience: Photoshop CS, Adobe Acrobat, Harvard Graphics. Previous Employers O’Neal, Inc. Diversified Technology, Inc. Fluor James Parrish Brown Westmoreland McGarity Pitts Lockwood Greene Selected Project Experience

O’Neal, Inc. – 2007-Present

Confidential Client. Designed by another O’Neal office, the construction documents left much to be defined, and that office was closed amid the construction of the facility. Chuck provided much needed clarification to the drawings in the most significantly lacking area, and turned an already hostile relationship into a good, cooperative working understanding. Michelin North America, Copperhead Project Designed for the production of a trade secret tire component, the building must be secure, even within the existing plant property. The purpose of the building was to create a raw material in the tire making process. Small for tire plants, the process was developed by Michelin in France, and little leeway was given for building criteria, even to the point of making direct conversions to one-eighth inch from metric to imperial measure. Chuck performed the entire design, documentation, and specifications alone, collaborating with other disciplines.

Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc. Design and construction documentation for a new transformer manufacturing plant in Memphis, Tennessee. With portions of the building floor and structure designed to carry a one million pound transformer, there were challenges at every turn, not to mention that the site is on the bank of the Mississippi River. This was the last major project for O’Neal created with Autodesk Architectural Desktop, and Chuck created the model for the manufacturing portion virtually single handedly. At over 900 feet long, the model was divided into four sectors to reduce file size and improve performance.

West Oak High School. Design and construction documentation of cafeteria, administration, and science laboratory additions to an existing high school. Confidential Client and location. Designed multiple buildings for a chemical manufacturer, including highly toxic and highly flammable materials, along with supporting R&D and QA labs and offices. Designed to provide a new, “shiny” look for the client. ~$14MM. Amgen. Secure distribution center for the East coast, to be built in Pennsylvania. Most of the product requires refrigerated storage, while a small quantity requires frozen storage. The facility must meet FDA requirements for a cGMP warehouse, and security is paramount. The retail value of the product stored is in excess of $3 billion. ~$7MM Amka. Master planning for a new manufacturing facility in South Africa. The company manufactures over 200 health care and hygiene products through about 17 packaging lines. The purpose of the plan is to consolidate three nearby sites into one efficient manufacturing facility. ~$30MM South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Perform an evaluation of an historic mansion for use by the Department of Natural Resources. The house was constructed within a couple of years of release of the territory to the South Carolina colony. Work included on site investigation, historical research, and documentation with recommendations. Merial. Designed a retrofit to include clean room production for mammalian injectable drugs. Coordinated with design personnel in another office and led the design effort. ~$7MM Diversified Technology, Inc. -2005-2007

Berea Middle School, Greenville, South Carolina. Designed classroom addition to a middle school to increase the student population to 1,000, without the need to expand support functions. Included resource rooms, music rooms, and standard classrooms. ~$240M Bryson Elementary School, Greenville, South Carolina. Designed classroom addition to a relatively new elementary school. ~$$250M Alma Elementary School, Gaffney, South Carolina. Designed administrative/library addition to and renovation of an existing elementary school. ~275M Ravenel Elementary School, Seneca, South Carolina. Designed administrative/classroom addition to an elementary school, in addition to select renovation. Required working within a severely restricted site, providing alternative school access during construction, and reconfiguring parent drop-off traffic pattern. ~$450M Fluor, (also known as Fluor Daniel and Daniel Engineering) – 1979-2004

VaxGen, Biotech Manufacturing Facility, San Francisco, California. Supervised the documentation for tenant improvements in an existing facility for a $12 million clinical and launch facility for AIDSVAX AIDS vaccine. Maintained conceptual design, code compliance, schedule, budget, and managed others in the creation of all architectural documents. Coordinated work among personnel in 3 different offices. VaxGen/Celltrion, Biotech Manufacturing Facility, Incheon, South Korea. Managed the production of preliminary phase documents for two major buildings on a greenfield site in Korea. Worked as liaison between the conceptual design and beginning of detailed design documents. Provided essential specialty documentation for a local engineering firm to proceed to construction documentation. ~$200MM Genentech, Biotech Manufacturing Facility, Spain. Architectural lead for this $134 million project to add equipment in a biotech facility currently under construction. Required the modification of most spaces and significant building addition. Chuck directed local architects in assisting with code issues, as-built drawings, and permit drawings. Coordinated work with 4 other Fluor offices. The complete list at Fluor is lengthy, and is available on request. Other clients included Amgen, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Roche Molecular Systems, Monsanto, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, E. I. DuPont De Nemours, Kimberly Clark, Ciba-Geigy, General Motors Corp., and Ministry of Defense and Aviation, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A particularly good relationship with Procter & Gamble was developed, so that Chuck worked at the Ivory Dale facilities directly with the client for a total of over four years, during a fifteen year period. The relationship with the project manager at P&G remains to this day, although he is now retired.
