Our Leadership
Michael Mistriner, AIA
National Higher Education Practice Leader | Executive Board Member
With a career spanning more than
30 years, Mike is engaged in the firm’s
business development efforts and is leading our higher
education practice throughout the Buffalo-Niagara region, across New York State
and beyond. His experience encompasses work with K-12, higher education
and corporate clients and is evidenced on many campus communities, both large
and small, public and private.
Mike has developed a keen understanding of
the patterns in which students and faculty use educational facilities, and he
appreciates the importance of creating spaces that embrace collaboration and
support self-discovery. He also loves a challenge, and has tackled many
in his time, including facilitating and leading diverse program committees,
integrating elements of building design and planning, and renovating
historically sensitive buildings into existing streetscapes. Mike’s
creativity, drive and passion for architectural planning make him invaluable to
his clients and colleagues alike.
