R. Joseph Trammell, since entering the Georgia Tech School of Architecture in 1963, has achieved his goal of excelling in a balanced approach to all aspects of architectural practice.

Mr. Trammell has had a significant role in the successful design, execution and construction of a diverse and distinctive body of work ranging from a 1.2 million SF corporate training center for Xerox in Leesburg, Virginia, to a 160,000 SF Science Center for the University of Richmond, restoration and renovation of historic Boston South Station into an intermodal transportation center, a 30-story, 750,000 SF multi-tenant office tower in Charlotte, North Carolina, a 750,000 SF headquarters for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, a 500,000 SF operations and data center for AmSouth Bank, and Twelve Atlantic Station, a mixed-use development in Midtown Atlanta with 400 residential units, 104 hotel suites, ground level retail and below-grade, structural parking.

Positions held by Mr. Trammell include service as a United States Coast Guard Officer during the Vietnam War, senior level positions in the 1970's and early 1980's with the Washington, D.C. offices of three nationally prominent firms: The Kling Partnership, John Carl Warnecke & Associates, and Skidmore Owings and Merrill. While an Associate with Skidmore Owings and Merrill, Mr. Trammell attended the Washington College of Law at American University in Washington, D.C. and earned a Juris Doctorate in May of 1982. Mr. Trammell joined Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, Inc. (SRSS) of Atlanta in 1983. He was named an Associate in 1985 and an equity Principal in 1990. During his 22 years with SRSS, Mr. Trammell helped guide the growth and success of SRSS from a 50-person regional firm to a 300-person international firm. Mr. Trammell resigned this position on January 3, 2005 to form Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, LLC. Mr. Trammell has helped guide the remarkable growth of this Atlanta-based firm to a staff of over 50 professionals, with $10 million in annual revenues, projects in 12 states, and designation as one of the "Best Places to Work" by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, an honor earned by only one other Atlanta architectural firm since the beginning of 2005.

Voluntary positions held by Mr. Trammell have included Chairman of the Professional Development Committee for Skidmore Owings & Merrill, Washington, D.C. from 1980-1983; Architectural Advisor to the Lenox Park Atlanta Design Control Committee from 1999 through 2004; and a member of the Georgia Tech Founder's Council since 2004.
