Senior Vice President Don Lee says the firm "is delighted to have been selected by The Mint Museum as the local architect leading the design team for their new museum. We look forward to building on our past relationship with The Mint Museum and the tremendous potential the Wachovia project has to develop a world-class cultural arts campus anchoring South Tryon Street."
In the 11 years that Clark Patterson Associates has worked with The Mint Museums, they have gained an institutional knowledge that is invaluable to its design team. They have used a wealth of programming and budget information from previous dealings with the Mint to help them develop an efficient and effective package for the Museums.

Their full service, "hands on" business philosophy allows them to develop thorough project management plans to guide clients from design and planning all the way to construction completion and occupation.

As a founding partner of the Charlotte office, Consulting Principal Donald Lee has guided the marketing and design efforts of the firm for 36 years. He believes the key to a successful project is listening to the client, understanding their needs and interpreting those needs into a functional, aesthetic solution within the project budget.
