Gerald Morgan. P.A.
Gerald J. Morgan, P.A. is an Architect and Construction Project Manager with 18 years of service at the University of Missouri - Columbia serving as the Owner’s Representative on construction projects to assure the best interests of the University by managing campus construction projects for compliance with project plans and specifications, conformity to building codes and industry standards as well as maintaining project schedule and budget. Gerald also worked for MU’s Campus Facilities Design Services group as the ADA Project Manager and Architect with a focus on bringing the campus into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This process included extensive research of the ADA, the physical survey of all educational, administrative and general facilities campus wide, accessibility design and/or management of over 900 projects at over 100 facilities with a budget of over 10 million dollars.
Prior to his current position, Gerald was employed by the Department of the Army Directorate of Public Works at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. There, he served as the Historic Properties Manager in charge of the design, maintenance and construction work on over 100 buildings, structures and sites that are listed on the National Register and make up the Fort Leavenworth National Historic Landmark District. Gerald assisted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory and the Georgia Tech University Center for Architectural Conservation in the development of the Preservation Technology Source Book and Standardized Specifications for Historic Facilities. Additionally, he was selected to be a member of the Department of Army’s Historic Facilities Maintenance Management Advisory Group in Atlanta, GA. and a consultant on the Building Preservation and Maintenance Plan for historic family quarters at Fort Myer, Fort McNair and Fort Belvoir in Washington, D.C.
Gerald has presented ADA & Universal Design related educational seminars regionally and nationally in recent years, including presentations at the L.A. Design Week – NeoCon West conference in Los Angeles, CA, NeoCon World’s Trade Fair/National Buildings Show in Chicago, IL, NeoCon East in Baltimore, MD, APPA Institute for Facilities Management in San Jose, CA and Reno, NV, Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers Annual Conference in Orlando, FL and the American Institute of Architects Universal Accessibility Conference in Washington, D.C.
Gerald was part of a 60 person team of design and construction professionals that the State deployed to Joplin a few days after the May 22, 2011 tornado to evaluate the structural integrity and safety of over 5,000 damaged homes, buildings and structures. Functioning as deputy building inspectors and reporting to City of Joplin building officials, teams of 2 - 3 SAVE (Structural Assessment & Visual Evaluation) Coalition members worked quickly to evaluate buildings and post signs on each structure warning of any dangerous structural conditions that may exist. The main goal was to keep the owners and occupants of those buildings safe during the aftermath of this tragedy.
In addition to the EMHE volunteer work that Gerald will undertake in the near future, he has previously volunteered design and construction services to a Habitat for Humanity build and a Homes For Our Troops build in Columbia, MO and provided design and construction management of a new playground for the St. Brendan Church & School in Mexico, MO.
