Integrated design firm DLR Group recently announced that it has named its new global K–12 Education leader, Senior Principal Carmen Wyckoff, AIA, LEED AP, according to a news release. Her teams have members in all 36 of the firm’s offices in the U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Europe, and Asia, and moving forward, Wyckoff will lead the strategic vision of the $200-million studio.

Wyckoff joined DLR Group in 2015 and led its Southwest K–12 Education studios from $5 million to more than $37 million, the news release reports. Her work with the firm includes Canyon View High School, the West-MEC campuses, and the J.O. Combs Performing Arts Center. She also serves on the DLR Group Advisory Board and advises the DLR Group Board of Directors.

“Carmen’s appointment as global K-12 Education leader is a direct reflection of what it means to be an employee owner at DLR Group and reinforces our commitment to our people,” said Steven McKay, AIA, RIBA, Managing Principal and CEO. “Our core values have enabled her to create life-changing educational spaces for communities around the world. She now gets to pair this design excellence with her innate leadership ability to drive the growth of our K-12 Education studio.”

Beyond DLR, Wycoff has served as a national juror for the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) Awards and the chair of the Arizona School Facilities Oversight Board. She has presented around the country on the topics of equity in school funding and the importance of employee ownership; she has also been recognized by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), according to the news release.
