Glenn Partners, an education-focused architecture and design firm, has announced the opening of a new office in downtown Fort Worth, marking an expansion aimed at deepening its work with educational institutions and community partners.
The new office, located in First on 7th, will be led by Tim McClure, Aaron Ewert, and Patrick Glenn.
By establishing a physical presence in downtown Fort Worth, the firm aims to be closer to the educators, institutions, and partners it serves, while fostering stronger connections within the community, the firm said.
Glenn Partners’ Fort Worth projects include the addition and renovation of Amon Carter-Riverside High School in 2021.
“Expanding into this new office is about more than growth — it’s about strengthening our commitment to the communities we serve,” McClure said in a statement. “As a firm dedicated to educational design, we are excited to bring our team’s expertise and passion for creating inspiring learning environments closer to current clients, while also building new relationships.”
Established in 2014 in Dallas by Briar Glenn, the firm has grown to more than 40 architects and designers, including a leadership team of six partners and two associate partners. The partners include Briar Glenn; Patrick Glenn; McClure; Ewert; Dan Holt; and Greg Estes.
Glenn Partners said the location was selected to better align the firm’s designers and leadership with the needs of local clients and partners across North Texas.
“Our roots are in Dallas, but we’ve always viewed the metroplex as a connected community,” said Briar Glenn, president of the firm. “Opening a Fort Worth office allows us to deepen our relationships with clients on the west side of DFW, offer more responsive service, and engage more meaningfully with the communities we’re designing for.”
