Monisha Adnani, LEED AP – Principal
“Monisha Adnani had the overwhelming task of managing the restoration project on a day-to-day basis. In fact, you might say the chorus of activity heading to the big reopening is every bit as choreographed as any performance and a lot more complex.”

Her biggest strength is that Mariana is bi-literate and can communicate in Spanish architectural information which is extremely valuable given California’s diversity in school district communities.”

Mark Crittenden - Principal
“It has been a pleasure of working with Mark as he applied his structural expertise to the Towbes Group portfolio. In my estimation, he has certainly seen his share of head-scratchers over the years! Through these various projects, his focus has always remained on the client’s needs. I have always found his designs to be creative, well thought out, and cost-conscious. As those in the business of developing, constructing, or managing properties can attest, we always need that “person to call”. Mark has and will remain an integral part of that process for us.”

GREG TONELLO, AIA LEED AP - PRINCIPAL
“The Roseville Civic Center provided a unique opportunity for collaboration between the city government, city residents, and Williams + Paddon. The design team led by Greg Tonello helped guide the design from an old bank to a modern and efficient center for government with an emphasis on accessibility and use by the community. The fact that this project took place in the old downtown area on Vernon Street and had an immediate impact on the revitalization of the surrounding area is a solid testament to Greg’s expertise in municipal planning.”
Thomas Goldie, Former Director of Central Services, City of Roseville
DEBORAH WOODLE, AIA - ASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL
“It was a pleasure working with the Design Professionals, IOR, and the Contractor throughout this long, extensive project. Everyone did extremely professional work. Many upfront electrical and mechanical systems had to be installed and properly worked before the final rooms could have the service they so desperately needed. I hope the facility is pleased with the final results of the new Lab and Sterile Processing area. I hope these rooms will service the hospital well into the foreseeable future.”
