While an undergraduate, in Vanderbilt University’s mechanical engineering program, Will had the opportunity to see firsthand how time-tested principles of urban design and planning helped Nashville realize its ambitions to become a more livable, better connected place for families and businesses. Upon returning to Columbus, he applied both his professional degree and what he’d observed in Nashville to neighborhood retail development and transportation projects on home turf. His successes in Columbus helped him develop an appreciation for – and expertise in – the seamless integration of design, engineering and planning with finance and construction oversight. By combining Will’s skill sets with those of his three partners, Artifex offers clients the opportunity to simultaneously address all the components of planning and implementing transformative projects. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60afbbe0d144d2634288e295/1622129705384/ThomAgain-69.jpg Team - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.artifexneighborhoods.com/np-whoswho daily 0.75 2021-06-04 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60ba67ffedd89c767118d535/1622829140290/unsplash-image-Ok76F6yW2iA.jpg Who's Who - North Poplar - Resources https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60ba6436572aa9278a30c24c/1622828117590/unsplash-image-SL1co_Etck8.jpg Who's Who - North Poplar - Forum https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60ba687d00382b4124ad3b74/1622829288528/VideoStill-Artifex-1_1.6.1%2B%25281%2529.jpg Who's Who - North Poplar - Projects https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60ba67a6bbb37f7d30992651/1622829002126/unsplash-image-Sm1gk_Xu3UM.jpg Who's Who - North Poplar - Calendar https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60b399c4a5e7e6022b8fe1ed/1622383387051/ThomAgain-68.jpg Who's Who - North Poplar - Will Burgin https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60b39b8252609310a1788185/1622383557141/01_ThomAgain-72+copy.jpg Who's Who - North Poplar - Bruce Tolar https://static1.squarespace.com/static/609472bcd9c3e1667981fe06/t/60b018a3b5e7f744d1070d72/1622153412366/TempPhoto-TBarnett.jpeg Who's Who - North Poplar - Traci Barnett After a successful career at a Fortune 500 company, Traci Barnett has moved into the world of real estate development.
