DVC Architecture Lecture Series: Marjorie Smith

Marjorie Smith brings a strong commitment to sustainable design to her projects. Since joining Siegel & Strain Architects in 2000, Marjorie has managed many of our camp and park projects in local, regional and National Park settings. Her recent projects have focused on the design of youth facilities and appropriate design for sensitive natural sites — projects where she strives to reduce material toxicity while maximizing energy efficiency, comfort and durability. Marjorie has been instrumental in the effort to change California building codes to remove toxic flame-retardant chemicals from below-grade foam insulation and to encourage manufacturers to offer foam insulation without these chemicals. Marjorie was promoted to Principal in early 2022.
