The Construction Source

THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Kevin Harrison joined _SA in 2003, and he later took over as principal in 2018. He was first attracted to the firmby themany iconic projects in their portfolio, and he stuck around because he was inspired by the values and philosophy of founding architect Jeremy Sturgess. When Jeremy decided to take a step back, Kevin was excited by the opportunity to step in and continue his founding legacy of boldness and creativity. Under Kevin’s leadership, _SA has continued to take on a multitude of project types – everything from city-shaping initiatives such as energizing civic buildings, fire stations, and bridges; to world class cultural attractions; to singlefamily custom homes. And though the project commenced before he became principal, Kevin has overseen a significant amount of the office’s progress on the City of Calgary’s Green Line – when complete, it will be a 47-kilometre-long light trail transit (LRT) line with 28 stations. “Over the past few years, we’ve continued to do some really exciting work,” Kevin says, “and I think we’ve gotten that work based on our four decades of existence. We’ve really developed a track record, and now we’re building on that track record. We’re really excited about how the last couple of years have gone, and we’re excited about the future.” “The firm was already known for pushing the boundaries of architecture and creating really strong and innovative and evocative work,” he says. “That’s still our intention, there’s no question about that. As long as this office exists, that’s always going to be our intention.”
