An influential leader in integrated architecture, master planning, and interior design known for its focus on multifamily housing, The Architectural Team (TAT) has announced a series of strategic promotions elevating 12 key team members to new roles within the firm. These advancements include the naming of four new Senior Associates: Phil Renzi, Andrew Stebbins, Meghann Van Dorn, and Anthony Vivirito. Each brings experience leading complex projects across TAT’s national portfolio spanning affordable, mixed-income, and senior housing, adaptive reuse and new construction, and large-scale mixed-use initiatives.

TAT has also named five new Associates, officially elevating longtime team members Al Donovan, Ryan Hagler, Kasumi Humphries, Jim Podesky, and Nathan Thomas to its leadership track. Additionally, the firm has promoted key administrative, marketing, and business development experts including Danielle Eckrich, named Director of Administration; Kristen Parry, promoted to Senior Marketing Coordinator and Pursuits Lead; and Meghan Wynne, who takes on the role of Controller.

According to TAT’s senior leadership, this significant round of promotions reflects the 100-plus-person firm’s accelerating nationwide reach, with projects active in more than a dozen states, and embodies an ongoing strategic initiative to expand senior roles and grow its leadership team from within. These new advancements also build on the recent naming of respected TAT architect Thomas Schultz, AIA, NCARB, CPHC, to the role of Managing Principal, underscoring this commitment to identifying, elevating, and retaining top talent in the pursuit of design excellence.

“For over 55 years, TAT has grown and thrived because we believe in supporting and nurturing our team members," says Schultz. “Everyone in our firm shares a belief in the power of architecture to help create more livable, equitable, and sustainable communities. Especially as our country faces urgent challenges ranging from housing shortages to climate change adaptation, there is no better way to develop solutions than to empower our own experts so they can utilize the full range of their creativity and expertise.”

One of the country’s leading planners and designers of affordable, mixed-income, and market-rate multifamily, mixed-use, and senior and assisted living communities, TAT is also recognized for its hospitality and community facility projects, and for its national award-winning expertise in the areas of historic preservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse. Recent milestones include the completion of Stone Mill Lofts, an innovative all-electric residential adaptive reuse of a nearly 200-year-old former industrial complex; The Cove, an award-winning new apartment community in Worcester, MA; the start of construction at Mary Ellen McCormack, a large-scale redevelopment of Boston’s oldest federal public housing community, and the upcoming reopening of St. Francis House following TAT’s trauma-informed interior renovation of the well-known Boston day shelter.

TAT’s four new Senior Associates have played important roles on many of these projects and other important firm initiatives. The five new Associates also bring valuable experience and expertise that support the firm’s core architecture, planning, and interiors efforts, and the newly promoted administrative and marketing leaders are also integral players in TAT’s success.
