Cambridge, MA According to CambridgeSeven, Timothy Mansfield, AIA, NCARB, has been named president and CEO. Mansfield, who has practiced with the firm for 31 years, is an architect recognized nationally for his bold design aesthetic and leadership in the profession. With a focus on higher education institutions, aquariums, and sports heritage museums, Mansfield is known for creating powerful architecture and visitor experiences as well as leading the design and management of complex projects for a diverse set of clients. His significant work includes the Roux Institute at Northeastern University in Portland, ME, the Kansas Aquarium in Wichita, KS, the immersive San Francisco 49ers Museum in Santa Clara, CA, the Broad Discovery Center in Cambridge, MA, and the Stevens Science and Innovation Center at Westfield State University.

Mansfield holds a Master of Architecture from MIT, and a BA in Architecture and English from Wesleyan University.

“It is an honor to serve as CambridgeSeven’s new President and CEO,” said Mansfield. “Having joined the firm when many of the original “Seven” were still active, I was fortunate to experience the distinctive collaboration and forward-thinking design ethos that is still a driving force and foundation of our practice. I look forward to continuing that design legacy with my partners and at the same time leading our younger, talented design staff in forging new horizons in architecture and further expanding CambridgeSeven’s impact as a global design powerhouse.”
