To better support design professionals in meeting fire code requirements without compromising aesthetics, Technical Glass Products, a brand of Allegion, has added a new role to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic sales team—architectural services manager. Filled by TGP veteran Tim Donaldson, the customer-focused position is designed to help architectural teams go beyond merely incorporating glass into a project to better understand how rated and non-rated glazing can support safer, more efficient and more occupant-centered buildings.
About the position
At the most immediate level, TGP’s architectural services manager can help design teams identify fire-rated glazing products to meet the fire and life safety code requirements of a specific project. This manager will also educate design professionals on the different categories of fire-rated glazing materials and their roles in defending against fire. TGP’s architectural services manager is a resource for project teams interested in creating safer and more design-forward buildings.
TGP's thoughts
“Rejoining the TGP team as an architectural services manager is an incredible opportunity,” says Tim Donaldson. “In showing architects the vast potential of fire-rated and architectural glazing, I can help these professionals more readily achieve their design visions. While this will support practices in creating cutting-edge designs, it will ultimately benefit occupants by providing dynamic and light-filled interiors.”
Devin Bowman, TGP general manager, says, “Tim has an excellent knowledge of both the rated and non-rated side of the glazing industry. His understanding of these systems will help project teams solve design challenges and construct better buildings. Considering this region contains Washington D.C., New York City, Boston and several other major cities, having Tim’s expertise will benefit these professionals in not just incorporating glass but having their designs stand out in a competitive market.”
