Michele Westrick, AIA

Email this principal | director

Michele has been working with educational clients since 1996. She has experience in the design of secondary public and private schools as well as a range of projects within higher education. Her primary interest lies within the broader framework of Student Life and how the design of student centers, residence halls and recreational facilities can collectively provide an enriching environment for learning and by building a sense of community in order to enhance a student's overall quality of life. Michele has developed an understanding of how to assist our clients in successfully defining and achieving their goals. As a project manager and a project architect, she is responsible for maintaining those goals through the design process and to ensure that they are fully realized in the final building. Her commitment to client service is apparent as she continually seeks client participation throughout all stages of a project.
