CHRIS DEASON, RA
  PRINCIPAL

Chris has 19+ years of experience and specializes in the design and project management of complex biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and research projects. As a principal at MILES, he has leveraged his expertise on renovations and new construction projects ranging from large-scale greenfield site developments to small renovations completed during tight shutdown windows. His ability to create innovative solutions for our clients and ensure that all relevant design and construction partners are taking a holistic view is one of his prime tasks as a project team member. His experience in the planning and design of manufacturing and laboratory facilities includes pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, medical research, gross anatomy, forensic sciences, chemical analysis, metrology, and animal facilities.

Chris’s unique knowledge base and attention to detail are vital throughout the design and construction process. He understands that both functional architectural environments and critical utility infrastructure are key to a successful project; overlooking one while addressing the other can result in costly alterations required to meet FDA, EU, USDA, NIH, or other relevant standards. This knowledge, in conjunction with his impressive record of working on technically challenging projects, has earned him recognition through multiple appointments as an Application Reviewer for the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, COBRE 1 Review Panel.
