Scott Perkins<\/strong>
\nBachelor of Architecture 1990, Bachelor of Science Environmental Design 1990<\/em><\/strong>
\nScott Perkins founded Perkins, Von Deylen & Associates, P.C. in March of 2000 with former classmate Craig Von Deylen. After surviving the meltdown of 2007-2008, the firm needed to focus on larger, more commercial projects rather than housing. After leveraging their prior experiences with heavier construction and jumping into complex, urban infill, mixed use projects, they brought on another CAP grad, Craig McCormick, and re-branded as Blackline in 2011. For Perkins, success in Architecture is defined by stamina and a commitment to project success; by consistently showing up and being present.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/04\/10124602\/2024-HEAD-SHOTS_0005_Scovel.jpg\")
