As a design-focused architect with cross-market experience in healthcare, sports, and civic and institutional projects, Jason Butz brings a thoughtful, research-driven approach to every phase of his work. His academic journey also included study abroad experiences in Barcelona and Buenos Aires. He later taught graduate students at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, as well as at Tulane University. Jason is deeply passionate about academia, whether designing campus environments or serving as faculty. Committed to educating the next generation of designers, he actively supports early pathways into the profession and advocates for trade schools and technical education. Known for listening closely to clients and translating their vision into purposeful, well-crafted spaces, he creates purposeful designs senitive to budget and time constraints. Every campus is unique, and Jason brings expertise for modern and contemporary styles of architecture for renovations, retro-fitting, and integrating a new construction or addition on an existing campus or a brand new one. In addition to his design passion for forward thinking architecture, he has a passion for forward thinking learning environments. Jason believes STEAM spaces (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) are designed to support hands-on, interdisciplinary learning that prepares students for real-world problem solving, whose purpose goes beyond traditional classroom instruction, but is equally as important to traditional learning environments.
