Perkins Eastman Announces Retirement Of Lee Wright
5.14.08 | Stamford, CT | The Board of Directors of
international design and architecture firm Perkins Eastman congratulates Lee A.
Wright, AIA on his retirement. Wright, a Principal in the firm’s Stamford office, has been
with Perkins Eastman for 10 years since the staff of SMS Architects joined the
firm. In his distinguished career—spanning more than 40 years—he has
focused on planning and design, business development, and the technical and
construction aspects of several practice areas. He serves as a member of the
firm-wide Project Management Committee, Scholarship Committee, and has been a
leader for quality control for the Stamford
office.
Wright has been instrumental in establishing and building the firm’s well-regarded clubs and hospitality practice, and has worked on projects including: Country Club of Darien, Darien, CT; Cherokee Country Club, Knoxville, TN; Burning Tree Country Club, Greenwich, CT; Beach Point Club, Mamaroneck, NY; Quaker Ridge Golf Club, Scarsdale, NY; among others. Wright’s leadership in the firm’s clubs practice will be assumed by Mitchell Levy, AIA, LEED AP.
Wright began his career with Sherwood, Mills and Smith (SMS Architects) in Stamford in 1966. There he managed the design and construction of many local elementary, middle and high schools as well as religious, institutional and commercial buildings—many of which are still use today. He became a principal in 1982 and president in 1996. In 1997, SMS merged its practice with Perkins Eastman.
Bradford Perkins, FAIA, Chairman and CEO of Perkins Eastman comments, “Lee Wright’s leadership and skills have been key ingredients in the success of both the Stamford office and our national club design practice. While we are glad for him that he is finally starting a well-deserved retirement, we will miss him very much.”
Wright is a member of the American Institute of Architects, is a licensed architect in the states of Connecticut, New York, and Vermont, and is certified with the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. He earned a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Fine Arts Degree from Princeton University.
