Meet our newest team member

Hastings+Chivetta has hired recent graduate and former summer intern Cameron McRae as an Intern Architect. He will create 3D models of projects as well as work on floor plans, site plans and other drawings for clients.

Cameron earned his Bachelor of Science in Architecture at Washington University in 2014. He plans to eventually return to graduate school to earn a master’s degree in architecture.

Cameron is from Jackson, Mississippi and is an avid reader, involved with his fraternity’s alumni association, a camper and is enjoying exploring St. Louis.

Hastings+Chivetta has been named architect for St. Louis University’s new residence hall on its Frost campus. The building will increase the number of undergraduates living on SLU’s campus from 40 percent to 50 percent. Find the full story in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch here.

The Hastings+Chivetta-designed Electrical Power Integrated Systems Center (EPISCENTER) at the University of Dayton was featured in the September-October 2014 edition of Green Building & Design Magazine for its incorporation of a unique central plant that optimizes efficiency. The building is the first on the campus to achieve LEED certification. It also complies with General Electric’s Green Building Guidelines.

The facility is operated by GE’s Aviation Division and assists GE engineers in developing electrical power systems for aircraft ranging from private and commercial passenger planes to military jets and unmanned drones.

The four-story building houses 51,000 SF of offices and more than 91,000 SF of high-bay laboratory space. The mid-rise office structure and laboratories are linked by an enclosed walkway. Every detail of the building design is in line with GE branding and was subjected to a rigorous approval process. The design process was kept in strictest confidence to protect the innovation planned to occur in the building.

Hastings+Chivetta previously designed the 125,000 SF fitness and recreation complex at the university in 2006.

Hastings+Chivetta Architects, Inc. was recently ranked as a top architecture firm serving the university sector. The annual list is compiled by Building Design + Construction magazine and is based on 2013 revenue from higher education clients. Hastings+Chivetta was ranked 36 out of 115 architecture firms on the Top University Sector Architecture Firms list. Find the full list and story here. In the same BD+C report, Hastings+Chivetta was also ranked 52 out of 300 top architectural firms in the country.

Hastings+Chivetta has brought in some bright new talent, and we can’t wait to see the great energy they will bring to our already dynamic staff.

Preston Scott is from Louisville, KY and graduated in 2014 from the University of Notre Dame where he majored in Architecture. His interests include tennis, skiing, and swimming, as well as team sports – H+C’s very own sand volleyball team. Preston is looking forward to working in the graphics department, as well as in production. He aspires to become an Architectural Designer or a Project Manager.

Christina Laney was an intern here last summer, and she loved it so much she decided to come back and join us full-time. After finishing her Masters of Architecture at Hampton University in Virginia, she decided to come back home to St. Louis. Christina enjoys spending time with her dog “sister” Ginger, visiting family and friends in Pike County, MO, training for 5Ks, photography, and all things St. Louis. She is eager to get involved with the construction process, participate in client communications, attain LEED certification and eventually become a Project Manager.

We’re very excited to have you both – welcome to Hastings+Chivetta!
