Bernardon Expands Leadership Team from Within

Bernardon is pleased to announce that Michael S. McCloskey, AIA, LEED AP BD+C has joined the firm’s senior leadership team as a Shareholder and Associate Principal.

Mike joined Bernardon in 2007 and has since specialized in the design and management of a wide range of project types, including multifamily, corporate, emergency services, retail, and urban design.

In his new leadership role Mike will also be assisting with the firm’s ongoing business development efforts. He will continue to lead the in-house intern development program and help to reinforce the firm’s presence in several key market sectors, especially multifamily residential.

“During his tenure here, Mike has distinguished himself as a talented architect and has demonstrated professional excellence and leadership in multiple areas, including design, client relations, and managing projects and budgets,” says Art Bernardon, founder of the firm. “This is a very positive step for our firm.”

Mike is a graduate of Drexel University where he earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree and where he currently serves as an Adjunct Professor. He is a member of the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, Delaware Valley Green Building Council, Urban Land Institute, and the American Planning Association. He also has a special area of interest in smart urban growth and sustainability.

“Ultimately, it was an easy decision to make this commitment to the firm,” says McCloskey of his new position. “Moving forward, I think we have a great opportunity to build upon the solid foundation that the existing principals and our founder have provided over the last 42 years.”

Established in 1973, Bernardon is a regional architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture firm. The firm has also announced several new staff members in recent months, reflecting the firm’s commitment to growth and expansion, which will allow better service to the wide array of clients that rely on the firm’s diverse and creative design solutions.
