TESTIMONIALS

Gregory Blackburn, AIA, LEEDAP, Principal, Anshen + Allen Architects,
San Francisco, CA

“I thank you for the significant leadership role you played in the planning and designing of the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center at the University of Missouri. Through your leadership and contributions, the process employed in planning and designing this interdisciplinary center was one of the most intellectually stimulating and rewarding in my 20+ years of architectural practice. A significant aspect contributing to this successful outcome was the synergist role you played in connecting campus stakeholders and end-users in a collaborative and inclusive working process throughout the planning and design stages of the project. You brought relevant know1edge, insights and enthusiasm to the design process, ultimately resulting in a new model for interdisciplinary research, a focal point for exchanges between faculty and students, and a signature building for the campus. This collaborative process was successful in uniting stakeholders around a common vision and in stimulating the interdisciplinary exchange and development of ideas intended for the research to be conducted in the Center. Your steadfast vision and leadership brought participants together and caused them to begin collaborating, a good two years before they were able to occupy the completed building.”

“I was pleased and privileged to work for several years with Dr. Mike Chippendale, who served as the Building Committee Chair for the Bond Life Sciences Center at the University of Missouri. My firm, Research Facilities Design, provided laboratory programming and design services throughout the entire project. In this role, I had the opportunity to work closely with Mike through many rounds of programming and detailed design meetings with the Building Committee and the user groups slated to occupy the new building. Mike helped to organize and lead these meetings with a steady hand, offering keen insight and promoting a participatory environment leading to consensus. He actively sought the input of all design team and Building Committee members to address the key ‘big picture’ issues without overlooking the smaller details. Mike also led presentations in numerous Executive Committee meetings, effectively communicating key issues and relevant features in order to facilitate understanding of the project. Throughout the entire project, Mike was an exceptional liaison with the architectural/engineering design team, respecting the roles and input of each team member. I highly recommend Mike for any consulting role requiring leadership, insight and user-advocacy.”

“The Life Sciences Center as it exists today owes more to Mike Chippendale than to any other university employee.”
