Mr. Burgin began his architectural apprenticeship in 1967 as an undergraduate at Franconia College, New Hampshire where he was involved in design and construction of many buildings including a new dormitory for the college. This early apprenticeship led to other design and construction projects in the Franconia area until transferring to the Rhode Island School of Design in 1969. There in addition to his studies he continued his design/build activities, completing many projects in the Rhode Island and New Hampshire areas. His first-hand construction background enables a working relationship with contractors and craftsmen that is understanding, yet exacting. Following graduation from the Rhode Island School of Design and employment with architectural firms in Rhode Island, he started his own practice, in 1975 which has evolved into the firm of Burgin Lambert Architects, Inc.
