CHRIS DEASON, RA

Principal

Chris is an architect specializing in the design and project management of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and research projects. He has leveraged his expertise on renovations and new construction projects ranging from large-scale, greenfield site developments, to small renovations completed during tight-shutdown windows.

His experience in the planning and design of manufacturing and laboratory facilities includes pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, medical research, gross anatomy, forensic sciences, chemical analysis, metrology, and animal facilities. His unique knowledge base and attention to detail are vital throughout the design and construction process, and his ability to create innovative solutions for our clients has greatly enhanced MILES ASSOCIATES' team.

Chris understands that both functional architectural environments and critical utility infrastructure are key to a successful CGMP project. Overlooking one while addressing the other can result in costly alterations required to meet FDA, EU, or other relevant standards. Ensuring that all relevant design and construction partners are taking a holistic view is one of his prime tasks as a project team member.
