Senior Principal
Eric Swanson
AIA
“More and more, I want to create structures that respond responsibly to the natural world.”
Eric Swanson never would have predicted that his career would focus on the planning and design of healthcare facilities, but, over the course of his decades-spanning career at Ballinger, an evolution took place. Eric credits his symbiotic working relationship with Lou Meilink and the collaborative, integrated nature of the practice with his success in this complex industry. An intuitive steward, Eric’s designs seek to understand and incorporate physical attributes of the facility’s location alongside the cultural values and core missions of the client.
