Sanjay Kadu

Sanjay was inspired by the careers of his father and grandfather, who were both architects. A thesis project on remote schools spurred his interest in educational design. He appreciates school projects for the profound impact they have on students during their formative years. His work includes award-winning facilities that integrate technology and support ever-evolving learning models.

As Chief Design Officer, Sanjay fills a key role: shaping and managing the firm’s philosophical and tactical approach to design. He leads the firm’s commitment to designing spaces which are dynamic, tuned to peoples’ needs, and long-lasting—resulting in spaces that support our communities, today and far beyond.

Still enraptured by the creative process, he most enjoys sitting down with clients and crafting innovative solutions to their problems. When he’s not at work, Sanjay likes to spend as much time as possible with his two young kids – both of whom attend schools he designed. He tries to infuse their perspective into his drawings, which he still does by hand.
