What an amazing story and accomplishment!!!!
I love love this story, I am so very proud of this gentlemen architect and his accomplishments! He made sure his dream came true!
I love this story mainly because I myself love design and architecture, the thought process to drawing on paper to the full blown project being completed. Years ago when my deceased husband was living I was in real estate, he was a building inspector in gorgeous Prince Georges County then the market crashed, I subsequently became a kitchen and bath designer for some of the Big Box Stores and expanded design into interiors and would sell the entire project through the store.
I would visualize projects coming out of the ground. My deceased husband would sit down and draw up home improvement projects by hand for others and I enjoyed watching that process. Subsequently, I got my associates degree in Auto-Cad and Revit, then the college closed down.
I didn't want to lose that skill so I would take part-time projects that involved these skills. Then 2 years later I applied to the AOC as a custodial laborer in hopes of rising through the ranks, to accomplish the same goals as this wonderful architect! I hope to follow this architects footsteps and other architects and civil engineers of the AOC, a great place to see your vision come true. Great story so much encouragement for folks like me.
Awesome article and perfect individual to highlight! It has been a pleasure working with Arthur. His expertise and knowledge are unmatched! A true professional.

As a student architect I can relate to this story. It is amazing to see how Mr. Logan persevered to accomplish his dreams. His story is an inspiration to me and I am sure to many others. Looks like the AOC is a great place to work, where you are part of a community of public servants making a difference in the world. I have recently applied to a position as an Architect Summer Intern and hope to one day work and learn from AOC's finest such as Mr. Arthur Logan.
I am now an architect emeritus in New Orleans. I graduated from Tulane School of Architecture with my wife and 10-year-old daughter at my side. I practiced for over forty years primarily in the field of historic preservation. I would give up my retirement to have one day as an Architect of the Capitol which is the most important group for historic preservation architecture and conservation in our country. Please continue to share your special knowledge.
