Tricia Beck

As leader of the Higher Education Studios in the Detroit & Pittsburgh offices, Tricia excels at leveraging strong internal and external relationships and is adept at managing project team activities and client expectations. "It is a privilege to create places that are focused on the future and inspire learning." Tricia cultivates strategy while applying human-centered design for a wide range of higher education projects including the Health Sciences, Professional Education, STEM and Student Life. Looking back to her childhood, Tricia has always had a hand in architecture and design. "Growing up with two older brothers, we had our share of Legos," recalls Trish. "Together, we designed entire cities and harbors. I still keep Legos nearby as a reminder of my creative introduction to architecture." Favorite pastimes include "planning vacations to anyplace with palm trees" and—no surprise here—gathering around a table with her son, building with Legos.
