O’Connell Robertson has acquired the Mitchell Design Consultancy in San Antonio, Texas. Mary Ann Mitchell, AIA, IIDA, MDC principal and founder, joins O’Connell Robertson as part of the acquisition.
Mitchell’s 25-year career as an architect and interior designer has included facility design and project management for Methodist Healthcare System, Baptist Hospital, UT Health Science Center and Alamo Colleges. She most recently provided program management and design-review services for the new 1-million-square-foot Fort Hood replacement hospital in Killeen.
She is continuously focused on delivering extraordinary experiences that leave a positive impact on the lives of everyone who experiences and interacts with her work. In her role as Principal, Mitchell will serve as O’Connell Robertson’s Healthcare and Government Market Leader for the South Texas Region.
“The acquisition of MDC enriches our firm’s ability to provide comprehensive planning and design services to education and healthcare clients in the region, while allowing us to grow our experience in the retail and government sectors,” said Chris Narendorf, LEED AP, principal and director of the San Antonio office. “I look forward to working with Mary Ann as we share a commitment to innovating and the desire to increase and enhance our client relationships, further integrating O’Connell Robertson into the fabric of the San Antonio community.”
O’Connell Robertson completed the new Texas Center for Infectious Disease Hospital in San Antonio last year and is working on a facility assessment for University Health System, a replacement school for San Antonio ISD and multiple projects, including the Moody Building renovation for Alamo Colleges. The firm’s diverse in-house expertise and broad range of capabilities enable staff to see projects from different perspectives, and offer new approaches to solving difficult problems.
