The architecture, engineering and construction industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by technological advancements reshaping how projects are designed, coordinated and executed. Three alumnae of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design — Gayatri Desai ’14, Veronica Quintero ’07 and Alexandra Pollock ’03 — are leading this evolution.
New Jersey Institute of Technology ranks No. 36 nationally among the top 50 undergraduate schools for game design, according to The Princeton Review. That’s an improvement of 13 places from NJIT’s last ranking.
Regionally, NJIT also stands out, at No. 10 in the Northeast. The high marks support the latest findings of Animation Career Review, which ranks NJIT at No. 15 on the East Coast and No. 1 in New Jersey.
Bryan C. Lee Jr. ’08, an architect, educator and design justice advocate with a master’s in architecture from NJIT’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design, was recently named president of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA).
Lee is the founder and director of Colloqate Design, a nonprofit multidisciplinary design practice based in New Orleans. His appointment marks a significant milestone in NOMA's ongoing mission to promote diversity, equity and inclusion within the architectural profession.
The American Institute of Architects is celebrating a New Jersey Institute of Technology professor and two alumni for their professional excellence and societal impact.
Professor of Design Georgeen Theodore and alumni Bryan C. Lee Jr. and Michael Hanrahan were elevated to organization’s College of Fellows — a recognition that less than 3% of its members achieve. Just 83 members across the U.S. became fellows this year.
