DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES

Hickok Cole’s Thomas Corrado

February 2, 2024

The Glenn Department of Civil Engineering and the Nieri Department of Construction, Development, and Planning hosted a Distinguished Lecture presented by Thomas Corrado, Associate Principal and Senior Project Designer at Hickok Cole on February 2nd at the Watt Family Innovation Center.  His lecture discussed the 80 M Street building, Washington D.C.’s first mass-timber commercial renovation project.  

Tom Corrado has over twenty years of design experience. His holistic approach emphasizes a synergy between a building’s function and how it’s experienced by its users.  His most recent obsession is mainstreaming mass timber, a material he feels has the capacity to completely alter the way we design, construct, and experience buildings.  Tom is a member of the American Institute of Architecture and is LEED AP certified.  He graduated from Clemson University with both a Bachelor of Science in Design and a Master of Science in Architecture.
