The Architect within Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) at Virginia Tech plays a vital role in designing, implementing, and overseeing projects that enhance the safety, health, and environmental conditions on campus. This advanced-level position requires expertise in architectural design and an in-depth understanding of EHS regulations to ensure that the university's built environment meets safety and sustainability standards. The architect works closely with multiple campus departments to plan and execute design solutions that protect the health and safety of university staff, students, and visitors. This role involves collaborating on the design and modification of campus buildings and facilities to minimize hazards, manage hazardous materials, and ensure compliance with environmental health and safety regulations. The architect will assess existing campus infrastructure, conduct risk evaluations, and create design strategies that integrate EHS principles into construction, renovation, and maintenance projects. This may include managing the incorporation of biosafety protocols, hazardous materials storage, and radiation safety measures into building designs. The Architect within EHS is expected to work independently, providing expert guidance and recommendations on the most effective design solutions for addressing complex safety and environmental concerns. Additionally, the architect may provide mentorship to junior team members, lead design teams, and participate in policy development regarding the safe management of campus spaces. Their work directly impacts the university's ability to maintain a safe, functional, and sustainable campus environment.
