Integrated Architecture is pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Kaywood, RA, as Senior Project Manager.

“Tom’s rich experience in the educational arena and strong client focus adds strength to IA’s K-12 and higher education efforts,” Paul Dickinson, AIA, President said. “As a Senior Project Manager, Kaywood will be in charge of a number of projects, working closely with the client, the design team and the project architect to assure that each effort runs smoothly, completing on time and on budget.”

A Grand Rapids native and graduate of West Catholic High School and The University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, Kaywood describes his education as traditional and his approach as people and detail oriented. “I’ve wanted to be an architect ever since high school when I was able to connect the dots between my interest in drafting and math. After I graduated from Notre Dame, I began as a designer and worked into project management. As a result, I’ve been exposed to all aspects of the business, and I use that knowledge to make sure my clients are well served and my projects are a success,” Kaywood stated.

“I’m excited about working with the IA’s creative, green design team and look forward to managing projects that will, years from now, be recognized for their positive impact on the environment and the community,” Kaywood said.

Kaywood lives in Ada Township with his wife, son and daughter. A volunteer fire fighter, he is in the process of becoming a certified medical first responder.
