Design Principal and Vice President Stephen B. Lewis has retired from GRLA after nearly 26 years of service.
Steve is a graduate of the Boston Architectural College and a licensed architect since 1986. Steve joined the then Gorman Richardson Architects firm in September of 1994 as architectural designer and in 2009, became a partner and added his name to the firm’s moniker. In 2018, with the retirement of partner Michael Gorman, Steve added the responsibilities of Vice President.
Among the many clients who benefited from Steve’s keen eye and attention to detail was the Worcester Ecotarium where Steve was instrumental in designing the re-use of the former polar bear habitat into a new attraction for the museum called “Wild Cat Station”. Additional long-term relationships were built with Summit Montessori School in Framingham, Duffy Properties, Quinsigamond Community College and George and Roberta Berry.
Steve’s hand drawn renderings showcased not only his talent as an artist, but also his ability to understand a client’s needs and translate them into a visual interpretation which always aided the project’s momentum.
Steve’s retirement plans include traveling and continuing his unique artistic expression.
Scott Richardson, GRLA Principal said, “GRLA’s staff and clients will most certainly miss having Steve on our team. We wish he and Kathy and their girls much happiness in their future adventures!”
