Baltimore, MD (September 11, 2019) – Robert W. Karow, AIA, has joined Quinn Evans Architects as a senior associate and director of technical services. He will advise on projects nationwide, bringing more than 30 years of experience in the design of educational, government, and institutional facilities, as well as complex historic preservation projects.

His portfolio includes the renovation of the Pentagon, the U.S. General Services Administration national headquarters, and the Pittsburgh Federal Courthouse.

During that time, he served as a senior project architect and construction administrator for the award-winning renovation of the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall, and as project manager for the exterior renovation of the U.S. Treasury Building.
