Don is a Professor Emeritus in Clemson University’s College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities where he taught design studios in architecture, urban design, site planning, and graphic design as well as technical studios. Fire station design projects often served as the “teaching vehicle” in his design studios in architecture and landscape architecture. Fire stations were the basis of his research interest in design. During his 36-year teaching career Don also served 3 semesters as Acting Chair of the Department of Architecture and later he served as the Chair of the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture for 9 years.

Parallel his college teaching career, Don worked 31-years with the Clemson University Fire Department severing as an operations Captain with ongoing responsibility for apparatus specifications and procurement. (Clemson University’s fire department, also an ALS medical transport provider, is the largest university operated fire department in North America. The department’s fleet includes 3 engines, 2 aerials and 3 medic units. The department has a response area of about 16 square miles and serves a town-campus population of about 32,000 that expands to over 125,000 on football weekends.)

Throughout his concurrent and overlapping academic and fire service careers, Don linked his positions to study issues in fire station site selection, site design and station design. His academic research focused on the fire station as a unique building typology. In support of his research in fire station design, Don has visited, studied and photo documented both career and volunteer fire stations throughout North America. In doing so he has been welcomed by the “brothers” and “sisters” for “duty tours” in many of them. This has allowed him to hear and experience first-hand “post-occupancy” evaluations by end-users at all ranks. The duty tours have sharpened his insights into fire station design concepts issues as well as design features ranging from those that work to those that are varying degrees of failure. His photo collection of fire stations and fire station details is extensive.

Don also chairs FIERO’s Annual Fire Station Design Awards Program, a task that has afforded him yet another venue for the study of fire stations.

Don has always maintained his own active design practice parallel his fire service and academic responsibilities. Since retirement from active teaching, this practice has focused on fire station consulting for fire departments and architects working on fire station design projects.

Don is a graduate North Carolina State University and Harvard University.
