Charleston, W.Va. (WVDN) – ZMM Architects and Engineers, the region’s premier architectural and engineering firm serving West Virginia, Virginia, and Ohio, is pleased to announce an important organizational shift to a senior leadership model.

ZMM’s ownership remains the same, with Bob Doeffinger, David Ferguson, and Adam Krason at the helm. The senior leadership team will provide strategic direction and management of the firm and support continued growth of ZMM and its operations.
