Salt Lake City-based FFKR Architects has promoted Kevin Mass, a senior principal architect with the firm, to president. The board of directors said the appointment is effective immediately.

The previous president, Roger P. Jackson, is stepping down after eight years in the position and “will continue to provide guidance to the new leadership and superior service to our cherished clients as one of Utah’s top architects,” a release from FFKR said.

“What a privilege it has been to be the president of FFKR Architects,” said Jackson. “This is such a talented and dedicated group of professionals. I am so pleased to pass the torch of firm leadership to Kevin Mass. Kevin is a seasoned professional and a true leader.”

“I am honored to be selected by my board to follow Roger Jackson as president of FFKR Architects,” said Mass. “We are all thankful for Roger’s decades-long work to make us successful and his forward-looking leadership. With the support of my partners and our tremendous staff, I am confident we will continue to prosper and grow.”

Founded in 1976, FFKR has more than 170 architects on its staff, the most of any architectural firm in Utah.
