St. Louis, MO, Jan. 4, 2023 - KAI has hired Andrew Kerr-Grant, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C as its newest Senior Project Architect at its St. Louis office.

He has served as the lead architect for the design, documentation, and implementation of projects for higher education, K-12 schools, government, research and development, commercial, corporate, and industrial facilities.

His experience includes programmatic design, preparing construction documentation drawings and specifications, as well as construction administration service projects incorporating ATFP requirements, LEED Certification and BIM (Revit) technology.

Andrew’s industry capabilities span a wide range of clients, project types and geographies. His flexibility and collaborative nature have already been a perfect fit at KAI.”

Prior to KAI, Kerr-Grant was a Senior Architect/Project Manager for St. Louis-based Etegra, Inc.; a Senior Project Architect for Core States Group; and a Senior Project Architect/Project Manager/Architectural Group Manager for Benham, A Haskell Company.

Originally from Australia, he earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Melbourne.
