Alexander Menshikov has participated in various Educational, Healthcare and Commercial tenant improvements projects. He is experienced with the unique qualities of each industry type: Educational projects are typically very strict in the design approach because of its prescriptive field of work and has to follow design criteria set by the State; Healthcare projects are also required to follow strict guidelines in addition to technical coordination for precise equipment installations; Commercial projects offer their own unique challenges but allow for a bit more expression. In the near future, Alex is looking to become a licensed Architect in the state of California and LEED certified, to better serve communities and help to design a better future for the next generation. In his free time, he enjoys traveling to new horizons, learning new things, and playing and watching soccer.
