MOREgroup’s Higher Education National Market Leader Jonathan Richert has worked across a range of scales within a variety of markets, from small remodels to healthcare facilities and high-end international retail—but higher education is where his heart lies. Understanding that colleges and universities are attended by choice, he guides our team in designing facilities that attract students, creating extraordinary spaces that inspire people to look beyond themselves and become part of a community. Building upon MOREgroup’s extensive higher education portfolio and his own wealth of planning and design successes, he delivers our unparalleled service and design excellence to clients across the nation.
Jonathan leads by putting the needs of others before his own. By example, he guides his team to dedicate themselves to mission first, and only after looking after their welfare does he tend to his own. He strives to set everyone up to succeed, grow, and accomplish the mission of MOREgroup and our clients.
For Jonathan, higher education design represents an exceptional opportunity to impact communities. Not only do higher ed campuses often serve as the backdrop for life-changing decisions like career and marriage, they also set the trajectory of future leaders and acts of service. To that end, he strives to create spaces where all people feel delighted and blessed. Outside of work, Jonathan is a board member at his church, where he dedicates himself to serving others.
