KC Bowman has
been a Project Manager and Designer with The Bay Architects since November
2004. He has primarily worked on multi-family residential projects and building
code / accessibility improvements to existing buildings.
One project
most related to the Eldridge Gonaway Commons Rehabilitation Project is his
extensive work for the Bay Area Housing Plan. Working for the Hallmark Community
Services, he programmed, space planned, and assembled construction drawings for
the remodeling of ten single family homes for their use as affordable,
community-based care housing for the developmentally disabled. Through this
experience, he has become well-versed in residential construction rehabilitation
and accessibility requirements for the R2.1.1.Occupancies and Type V
Construction.
Mr. Bowman has
also helped design and manage several multi-family residential projects,
including Stadium Place, a 74-unit mixed use building in downtown Berkeley, and
The Telegraph, a 15-unit condominium building along Telegraph Avenue. Each
project was designed with accessible units. These projects required extensive
design review and community outreach to obtain their zoning entitlements.
Before
joining The Bay Architects, Mr. Bowman worked for the City of Oakland Public
Works Agency for seven years. As an engineer and project manager, he
prepared and
delivered project presentations at meetings with community groups. He
was also a team member for the Service Delivery System (SDS)
and addressed public safety and quality-of-life issues with community
groups in their neighborhoods. The SDS teams received intensive training on the
principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) and provided
a single point of contact for residents in order to foster community-oriented
governance and crime prevention. He has implemented CPTED design elements in all
of his engineering and architectural projects, including the principles
of natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement and natural access control.
Mr. Bowman is
a 1991 graduate of
California Polytechnic State University,
San Luis Obispo, with a
Bachelor of
Science in Civil Engineering.
