Melanie Hennigan AIA, LEED AP

Principal

Melanie has over 20 years of experience designing public facilities that are clearly organized, friendly, inviting, and delightful environments.  She has designed public projects which are not only inspiring places to learn, play, and live, but are produced on time and on budget for their clients. She has extensive knowledge of civic building types, including expertise on acoustics, daylighting, lighting design, security systems, furnishings, interior design, glare-free environments, as well as energy-efficient and “green” buildings. 

Melanie's award-winning designs have been recognized locally, regionally, and nationally by the AIA, NHBA, NSBA, CEFPI, librarians, educators, school boards, and facilities planners.  Her design leadership has guided Grimm + Parker Architects to win over 70 design awards in recent years. Melanie was appointed by the Governor of Maryland to serve on the State Architectural Review Board reviewing all State-Funded projects.  She also serves as the President of our AIA Chapter.
