Kris Knight

Kris’s fascination with building design began during childhood visits to the Old Stone Church in West Boylston, Massachusetts. Since joining DiMella Shaffer in 1999, he has contributed to landmark projects such as the Kenmore MBTA Station, a graduate and undergraduate housing complex at UMass Amherst, and the Gassett Fitness Center at Salem State College, all while driving innovation across all the firm’s market sectors.

As our Director of Quality Improvement, Kris leads firm-wide initiatives to enhance efficiency and elevate the design process. His expertise in process optimization, and collaborative leadership underscores his commitment to pushing boundaries and striving for excellence in every project.

When he’s not shaping the built environment, Kris can be found skiing as much as possible – or hoping for snow while brewing his own craft beer.
