Steve Springer, DBIA, LEED AP
Steve leads our life sciences projects nationwide. After joining us straight out of college, Steve quickly built a reputation for understanding complex construction and architectural challenges, finding solutions, and communicating with owners and project team members. His experience delivering technically challenging construction and design-build life sciences and research projects led to his promotion to his current role. Steve notes that an important part of his role is “training and helping our teams to be successful.” He’s able to do that thanks to his depth of on-the-job technical experience. Steve is involved with the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). He is also actively involved with the United Way for Greater Austin and his local church. Away from the office, you can find the Iowa State alum in the river or a salt water flat, trying to perfect his fly-casting.

Morgan interned with EEA when he was in college. When the time came for him to look for a job, he moved to Dallas and chose the firm that felt most like walking down the halls of EEA. In 2001, life presented him an opportunity to move home to Austin and that included returning home to EEA. Morgan has a B.S. M.E. from the University of Texas at Austin. He also has the following certifications: US Green Building Council (USGBC), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional - Building Design + Construction (LEED AP BD+C), and Certified Commissioning Authority (CxA).
