After 18 years of designing and managing federal projects around the world, Amy Schaap, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C, FHFI, has been promoted to the position of market sector leader – federal programs for LEO A DALY’s Omaha design studio.

Her previous projects have spanned the globe, from Japan and the Middle East to New York and Wyoming. She recently led renovation design and medical planning for 110,000 SF of the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. The project included a 19 operating-room renovation in one of the U.S. Navy’s largest surgical hospitals. She brings expertise in evidence-based design, antiterrorism force-protection standards, federal design-build delivery and federal guiding principles for sustainability.
“Amy is a passionate strategist and has had boots on the ground at federal projects of all types and sizes,” said Vice President and Omaha Managing Principal Chris Johnson. “We are very optimistic about our future in the federal market with Amy as market sector leader.”
