Marc Mondor takes pride in seeing potential for design innovation where others do not. He has over ten years of architectural experience and has been an integral part of Pittsburgh’s sustainable design movement since the mid-1990′s. Marc’s consulting work has led to many innovative firsts, including the nation’s first LEED certified supermarket (for Giant Eagle), the first LEED Gold certified place of worship (for the Unitarian Universalist Community), the first LEED Commercial Interiors Gold office space (for the Coro Foundation) and is currently working on the first LEED certified project in Africa (with HSBC Bank Egypt). Current clients include Giant Eagle, Carnegie Mellon University, HSBC, Phipps Conservatory, Point Park University, Supervalu, Wegmans, WPXI, UPMC and several school districts. Prior to co-founding evolveEA, Marc was the Pittsburgh Green Building Alliance’s Project Manager, where he consulted for clients such as Allegheny County, Community Loan Fund and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, and staffed and managed the Green Building Fund. Marc’s consulting is backed by experience as a designer. He has worked for several architectural firms, managing commercial, office, residential and institutional projects and understands the process and pressure points for the successful implementation of sustainable design.
Marc has lectured nationally and is one of 60 national professionals to be named to the USGBC’s LEED Faculty. Marc has brought change to the region by serving on the boards of Friendship Development Associates, the East End Growth Fund and Three Rivers Association for Sustainable Energy (TRASE). Marc received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo and studied sustainable design in Scandinavia. Marc is a Registered Architect and a LEED Accredited Professional. marc@evolveEA.com
