MKA is pleased to announce the addition of a new Principal to our team! Brian Markham joins MKA with 25 years of experience leading complex arts and cultural building projects around the world. His arrival reinforces our strategic focus on expanding and elevating MKA’s structural engineering practice.

Whether it’s owner vision, architectural aspiration, or artist inspiration (or all of the above), working within that creative space has been the calling of my career. I’m thrilled to join MKA, where that kind of creativity meets technical excellence. I look forward to leading within a new team to expand what’s possible—while making sure the possible can also be practical.” – Brian Markham
