It is with a deep sense of sadness and loss that we said goodbye to Kellee Grounds in February 2026, at the end of her four-year battle with cancer.

​

Kellee was a trusted friend and colleague to all of us here at Systemic. She was the "Day One" staff member of the company, joining Jamie Clark in 2013 for our very first project: the Osten & Victor Alberta Tennis Centre.  Her steady presence and keen eye for detail helped us grow the firm in its early days, and for this the entire team at Systemic is grateful.

​

Below is Kellee's biography as it appeared on our website during her time with us.

​

​

​

Kellee graduated from SAIT in Calgary, Alberta in 1998 with a degree in Building Development and has worked as an architectural technologist in Calgary since that time. She has participated in numerous project types including residential, commercial, office, industrial and educational.

 

Kellee has represented Systemic Architecture on site as part of the Contract Administration phase, and enjoys interacting with contractors during construction.  She believes that getting on site is required in order to keep up to date with how buildings are actually constructed, and current trends in building science.  Her drawings demonstrate a high level of understanding of the manner in which different types of buildings are put together. 

 

Along with a strong determination to produce concise and well-coordinated drawings, Kellee is organized, resourceful and likes to tackle her work in a logical and sequential manner.
