Project Role: Project Manager

Responsibilities:

Mrs. Epley serves as a Project Manager. She is involved in all phases of the project from design development through construction.

Background:

Mrs. Epley, a Maryland native, joined Hopke & Associates in the fall of 2004 upon her return to the east coast after four years in Arizona and California. Most of her nearly fourteen years experience centers around the Washington, DC metropolitan area, working for firms in DC, Annapolis, MD, and Alexandria, VA before joining Hopke & Associates.

During her time out west, she worked primarily on school projects as a project manager for the largest firm in the San Joaquin Valley, CA, Darden Architects, specializing in educational facilities. There she managed the $6M modernization of four existing high schools to meet current ADA and building code standards. At Sakellar Associates in Tucson, AZ, she was directly involved in the feasibility study and master planning for the expansion of Saint Odilia’s, an existing Catholic church and community, to phase-in pre-school through secondary educational facilities in a sensitive desert setting, including extensive and formal committee interaction and research.
.
Since joining Hopke & Associates, Mrs. Epley has worked on a wide variety of projects ranging from restaurants, medical offices, and tenant build-outs to custom residential and interior design. She has most recently managed the construction of the Doris Miller Aquatic Center for the City of Newport News including the design of a custom mosaic wall mural, and is currently managing the construction of the New Kent Visitors and Commerce Center.
