Lew is a nationally recognized specialist in organizational strategic planning and facility master planning. For twenty-five years, Lew has assisted corporate and development clients, colleges and universities to better define their long-range business and academic plans, develop and implement phased design and construction programs, and optimize financial resources. The resulting facilities, both single buildings or whole campus environments are both aesthetic and effective work and learning tools, reflective of present need while accommodating future change. Lew works with each client to determine how mission and vision impact planning, design and construction of facilities. Lew has worked with public and private institutions from Tennessee to Wyoming, Minnesota to Georgia as well as in Russia and Tanzania. He understands, and applies to each project, national trends in finance, organizational development and technology systems integration.
In addition to his work as a professional architect and planner, Lew has also served on several boards. Most notably, he was appointed to a six year term on the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) Board of Trustees by Governor Jesse Ventura. MnSCU is the seventh largest public system of higher education. The 15-member board oversees an annual budget of $1.2 Billion and includes setting policy for thirty two technical colleges, community colleges and state universities located throughout Minnesota on fifty three campuses and serving over 300,000 students. While a Trustee, Lew was Chair of the Facilities, Technology and Advancement Committees as well as participating in the Education, Audit and Futures Committees. In addition, Lew has served for a decade on the board of Sobriety High School, one of Minneapolis largest and most successful Charter Schools. He was Board Chair during the institutions growth from serving 35 to over 200 chemically dependent students. Finally, Lew is a founding member of Walking Minneapolis, a non-profit foundation chartered to raise private funds for the improvement of public facilities in downtown Minneapolis.
His role as Principal-In-Charge includes working directly with each clients senior management team throughout the project, coordinating all planning and design team activities, facilitating on-site planning meetings and making periodic presentations to clients and their governing boards.
