New Partner Announcement
"FXFOWLE possesses the values that I treasure most—true responsibility for everything: starting with people, fairness, mentorship, building well, design excellence, and caring for the city and the planet at large. This is no small achievement. It's a firm to be very proud of." – Nicholas Garrison
Nicholas Garrison, AIA, LEED, is an award-winning architect with over 30 years of experience leading signature projects for colleges, universities, and private secondary schools around the world. Since joining the firm in 2009, Nicholas' design leadership—combined with a range of cultural, educational, and institutional expertise—has made him an integral part of the Cultural/Educational practice and the firm.
"We welcome Nick into the partnership," said Senior Partner Sylvia Smith, FAIA, LEED. "His creativity, intelligence, and client-centered process inspire and enrich all dimensions of our design practice."
Nicholas believes that a site-specific research culture should drive the design process, resulting in projects that are exceptional, powerful, and authentic. He is currently directing the design of several projects, including a new university campus in Nairobi, Kenya; the Bilkent Erzurum Lower School, Erzurum, Turkey; the new Columbia University School of Nursing, New York; and a vision plan for the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York. Recently completed projects include the LEED Platinum Golisano Institute for Sustainability for the Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York; and the Hunter's Point Campus, Queens, New York.
Nicholas received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture as well as a Master of Architecture degree from Princeton University, graduating summa cum laude. He was the recipient of the Joseph Shanley Traveling Prize and the Thesis Prize for his graduating class.
