Albert's more than 40 years of experience in all phases of building design and construction, combined with his technical knowledge of construction standards, allows him to skillfully lead a project from initial concept to final occupancy. He has served as project manager on dozens of major projects, including fourteen university buildings and the contemporary art addition and renovation of the Joslyn Art Museum. Albert has proven his aptitude as an overall project coordinator, deftly guiding all team members in a collaborative environment that results in the best outcome for the client: a building that is beautiful, economical, and durable.

 

 

A graduate of Iowa State University, Ryan’s education opened his eyes to modern Midwestern beauty, pragmatism, and constructability. Since then, he has nurtured his interest in the connections between modern architecture, industrial fabrication, and both emerging and traditional construction techniques. As a partner and lead designer at APMA, Ryan produces innovative architectural solutions for a variety of clients, from libraries and museums, to schools and workspaces. Ryan’s involvement with the expansion and renovation at Joslyn Art Museum, leading the local architectural team and serving as chief liaison between APMA and the international design firm Snohetta, has been an integral piece to the project’s success. His work has been recognized with AIA Nebraska Design Awards for Emerging Architects, a A|N Best of Design Awards, Honorable Mention in the Public Category, and multiple AIA Nebraska and AIA Central States honors.
