It is with great sadness that we share the news of Edward L. Rodriguez’s passing on Wednesday evening. Known as Mr. Eddie around the office, he was reknowned as “The Code Expert.” Mr. Eddie began practicing architecture in 1955 and was with VergesRome Architects for 52 years, starting in 1965 with Underwood Verges and Associates. His peaceful, creative spirit will be deeply missed by all of us at VRA.
