CAREER SUMMARY: Lowell attended the University of Alabama and obtained her first engineering job in 1970 as a summer employee of Rust International. The following year, she began working for Hudson & Associates, a small consulting structural engineering firm, and continued to take classes at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She worked for that firm and as a consultant to other structural engineering firms until 1981. During that period, she designed parking garages, malls, medical, educational and commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Lowell was a founding principal of Christy/Cobb, Inc.. The firm initially focused on residential and commercial projects serving architectural clients. Over the years, Lowell has developed her management skills functioning as the prime design professional on many projects. While structural design of architectural projects remains a strong interest, her technical skills have expanded to include industrial facilities, municipal and special structures, renovation and historic preservation. Her clients now include owners, state and local governmental agencies, engineers and contractors as well as architects.
