L AWRENCE TECH MAGAZINE 5 A conversation with Dean Glen LeRoy College of Architecture and Design builds new programs on solid foundation.

Many changes have taken place in the six years that Glen LeRoy has served as dean of the College of Architecture and Design, in part a refl ection of the experience he brought to the job from both academia and private practice. LeRoy was a practicing architect for more than 30 years, and prior to being named dean at Lawrence Tech in 2005 was a principal of the 200-plus-employee Gould Evans Associates, LC, based in Kansas City, Mo., with multiple offi ces across the United States. He was also an associate professor at the School of Architecture & Urban Design at the University of Kansas, where he taught for more than 20 years. He has master’s degrees in architecture and city planning from the University of Pennsylva- nia and a master’s and bachelor’s degree in architecture from Tulane University in his hometown of New Orleans. In recognition of his leadership in both education and practice, LeRoy has been named a fellow of both the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Institute of Certifi ed Planners. He currently serves on the AIA national board of directors. Recently, LeRoy answered questions about developments in the college and his vision for the future.
