\"Garrett<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Executive Vice President of McCulloch England Architects
Education: Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, UNC Charlotte (2004)
Bachelor of Architecture, UNC Charlotte (2004)
Hometown: Charlotte, NC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One summer while he was in middle school, Garrett Olin spent a few weeks with his uncle, who worked in the design and construction of homes, and became excited about architecture. After that, Garrett took every drafting class that was offered in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At age 17, the summer before his senior year in high school, Garrett joined McCulloch England Architects as a draftsman. More than two decades later, he is the firm\u2019s Executive Vice President. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cMcCulloch England Architects is a specialty healthcare design firm whose mission is to partner with healthcare teams to inspire and improve the community through design,\u201d Olin says. \u201cOver the years I have increased in the knowledge and ability of healthcare architecture. Currently, I manage some of our largest and most complex acute care projects as well as lead in our marketing and business development efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his years with McCulloch England Architects, Garrett has worked on many incredible projects in the medical industry, including:<\/p>\n\n\n

  • Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center – G3 Patient Tower Addition – 150 patient beds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • CarolinaEast Medical Center Expansion Project – Emergency Department Expansion, New Patient Beds, Women’s Center Expansion, and new Lab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Spartanburg Regional Pelham Medical Offices at Five Forks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Novant Health Matthews Medical Center Bed Tower Addition – Patient beds, Surgical Services Expansion (including 7 ORs), Observation Unit and Intensive Care Unit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    He has also designed his personal residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Garrett says that UNC Charlotte\u2019s architecture program provided him with a great concept of the philosophy and concepts around design that he uses daily in his current career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI have always thought that the School of Architecture teaches students how to think, how to be critical of themselves, and how to communicate through visual representation and verbal presentation,\u201d he said. \u201cThese skills are essential to the practice of architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    His advice for students: \u201cTake off your headphones and learn from those around you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
