Francisco Javier Rodr\u00edguez-Su\u00e1rez, FAIA, will be the new director for the University of Illinois<\/a> at Urbana-Champaign\u2019s school of architecture. He will take on his role in January 2020.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez-Su\u00e1rez is currently an Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture<\/a> (ACSA) distinguished professor of architecture at the University of Puerto Rico<\/a>, where he served as dean from 2007 until 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrancisco brings a strong record of influence in the field of architectural education and is a globally recognized leader in thinking through the central role of architecture, design, and education in confronting the world\u2019s most urgent challenges,\u201d said Kevin Hamilton, dean of the school of architecture. \u201cHe is passionate about the lives of cities and how not only design but design education can help keep them just and flourishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez-Su\u00e1rez studied at Georgia Tech<\/a>, the Universit\u00e9 de Paris, and Harvard University\u2019s Graduate School of Design<\/a>, where he earned a master of architecture with distinction and American Institute of Architects<\/a> (AIA) School Medal. More recent honors include recognition as an AIA Fellow in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new leader joins us from outside the university, bringing a wealth of new networks and knowledge to our efforts,\u201d added Hamilton. \u201cIn Francisco, we also have someone who brings deep knowledge and appreciation for our school of architecture\u2019s distinctive and historic record of accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
