BENTONVILLE, Ark., May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- HFA Architects + Engineers has
named Barry Read, AIA, Industrial +
Logistics Senior Lead in the firm's DFW studio.
During his nearly 35 years as a licensed architect, Read has had
the opportunity to work on various public and private sector
projects, including working with the Department of Defense, the
State Department, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Veterans
Administration. His private sector experience includes projects in
food service, retail, office, medical, maintenance facilities,
distribution centers, and industrial buildings.
"With the rapid increase in demand for Logistics facilities, I
hope to help grow our team, allowing us to support private and
public sector clients. Additionally, by adding services to our
offerings, we'll be able to provide our clients with a multifaceted
and integrated partnership experience," said Read.
Born and raised in Jamaica,
Read maintains a global understanding when working on projects,
which puts him at an advantage in the Industrial + Logistics
industry. He feels this background and his travels worldwide have
allowed him to work seamlessly with people of various cultural
backgrounds.
"Barry embodies the essence of leadership that puts people at
the forefront. His dedication to serving our clients and being a
dependable advisor is unparalleled. I eagerly anticipate the growth
and development he will bring to our team and the Industrial +
Logistics sector in his new role," said Marc Jennings, NCARB, Vice President at
HFA.
Before his promotion to Senior Lead, Read spent the past six
years helping to guide the success of HFA's DFW studio, as well as
the growing Industrial + Logistics team. His dedication to the core
values of HFA has led to his success while leading others, allowing
them to realize the success of an integrated, multi-disciplinary
team.
Read says, "Nearly six years at HFA have reinforced my values,
which closely match the core values of HFA. Our firm offers our
people limitless growth opportunities. I'm lucky to be part of an
incredible team of talented architects and engineers that open the
horizon to infinite growth."
As the Industrial + Logistics sector in the U.S. continues to
evolve, so does the team's support of those clients at HFA. Read is
ready and willing to take his past experiences and knowledge in
both the sector and with leading people to help ensure successful
growth for our client partners.
"With the lessons learned during the pandemic, we are seeing the
desire to maintain an increased supply of products and materials
within the continental U.S. This, along with the demand for
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) within these
facilities, has led to a dramatic increase in the need for such
facilities. HFA is well positioned to take a larger role as a
trusted and integrated partner with our clients to help develop
even more of these facilities in the future," concludes Read.
