Kenton Blackwood has been with Blackwood Associates, Inc. for more than 20 years. He directs the BAI staff in the planning and design of facilities throughout West Virginia. He is experienced in site evaluation and design, building program evaluation, planning and design, construction document development and on-site construction observation.

In addition, he has taken BAI to the forefront of technological architectural media with his knowledge of vector-based 3D computer modeling and CAD applications. His proficiency with “virtual reality” modeling allows BAI to use these technologies as a design tool. Where other firms may provide elevations or a traditional architectural rendering to convey an idea, BAI can take a client around and through a design, studying different forms, lighting, color schemes and finishes, and make any revisions before the first shovel of soil is overturned.

Kenton Blackwood’s skills as a designer and modeler have benefited many clients. Developers, administrators, school boards, design committees, and non-profit groups have used his skills to help obtain funding and approval for proposed projects all across West Virginia.

In addition to his talent as a 3D designer, Kenton Blackwood has provided important design input on and/or served as job captain on dozens of projects. Some of these projects include:
