Jeffrey R. Davis has over 30 years of experience in the programming, planning, master planning, design, and construction of educational facilities. He joined Johnson Roberts Associates in November 2013 and has enjoyed a longstanding friendship and working relationship with J. Stewart Roberts, the founding partner of Johnson Roberts Associates.
Jeff and Stew previously worked together from 1988 – 1996 at the Boston architectural firm Tappé Associates, Inc., where they both served as Senior Associates and were actively involved in the overall management of the Firm. When Mr. Roberts departed the firm in 1996 (to found Johnson Roberts Associates), Jeff continued his design and leadership activities at Tappé for the next 12 years, eventually becoming it’s President and CEO. During his 20-year tenure at Tappé, Jeff successfully led planning and design efforts with over 20 grades PK-12 educational communities in Massachusetts. These efforts resulted in the rehabilitation, expansion, and new construction of more than 25 public school facilities.
In 2008, Mr. Davis Jeff joined WBRC Architects/Engineers, a 75-person A/E firm with offices in Portland / Bangor ME and Sarasota FL, as it’s Education Studio Director. While at WBRC, Mr. Davis led the facility review, educational programming, and master planning services for eight Maine grades PK-12 educational communities. Of particular interest, Mr. Davis is the architect-of-record of the new Hampden Academy, a 180,000-SF new public high school in Hampden, ME (Hampden Academy is one of most innovative public educational facilities in northern New England through it’s use of sustainable features, multi-use academic and community program areas, incorporation of educational technology – all of which were ‘visioned’ through a community-based pre-design process).
