“I am thrilled about this opportunity to lead the federal market sector in Omaha,” Schaap said. “We will continue to grow our market position by increasingly leveraging design expertise across the firm and curating the most qualified design teams for our federal clients.”
Schaap draws on experience with the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Veterans Affairs, General Services Administration, and National Park Service, among others. She has developed design knowledge and is conversant in the design language for each agency. In her new role, Schaap will position resources and curate design teams to match projects with the appropriate design expertise. She will also continue to serve as Program/Project Manager for complex federal projects.
Her previous projects have spanned the globe, from Japan and the Middle East to New York and Wyoming. She recently led renovation design and medical planning for 110,000 square feet of the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. The project included a 19 operating-room renovation in one of the U.S. Navy’s largest surgical hospitals. She brings expertise in evidence-based design, antiterrorism force-protection standards, federal design-build delivery, and federal guiding principles for sustainability.
“Amy is a passionate strategist and has had boots on the ground at federal projects of all types and sizes,” said Vice President and Omaha Managing Principal Chris Johnson. “We are very optimistic about our future in the federal market with Amy as Market Sector Leader.”
