In this role, Rob will use his talents and expertise to oversee and inspire continued design excellence for buildings in each of the office's market sectors including education, health care, corporate architecture, and science and technology. A practicing architect for 20 years, 16 of which were spent at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, Goodwin has brought design excellence to a significant and diverse body of work ranging from two-million square-foot mixed-use projects to complex "smart buildings."

Most recently Goodwin served as lead designer for the 400,000 square foot SMART ambulatory care center at New York Presbyterian Hospital. During his career, he has also designed the award-winning Weinberg Building at the University of Maryland Medical Center and the innovative Engineering Centers Building at the University of Wisconsin, which won a 2003 AIA Honor Award.

His major commercial projects include a trading center for Goldman, Sachs and Co. in downtown New York, a mixed-use project for Samsung Corporation in Korea, a 47-story hotel/office tower in Taiwan and a pharmaceutical manufacturing campus for Amgen in Puerto Rico.

Goodwin received his Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University in 1984. His work has been published in Architecture, Architectural Record, Domus the New York Times, and the Baltimore Sun.
