Richard Burck Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce the promotion of Tim Mackey to a Principal of the firm.
Since joining the firm in 1996 Tim has become central to the success of Richard Burck Associates in the making of commercial, civic and institutional landscapes at a broad range of project scales. His adroit professional skills have guided the design development, documentation and realization of numerous award-winning projects such as: Boston University Law School, The Watch Factory Waltham, MA and the Millennium Tower, Shoppers Park at Boston’s Downtown Crossing. Tim’s skilled project management, especially when working with multidisciplinary teams of design consultants, has successfully woven complex ecological, topographic, accessibility, constructional and programmatic site design issues into built works that physically embody the environmental, social and expressive ideas that are central to the design mission of the firm.
We look forward to Tim Mackey continuing to develop and expand his professional practice as a Principal of Richard Burck Associates.
