Bill Glass
William Glass, FAIA, is the Principal of Glass Associates, Inc. Established as a corporation in 1989, Glass Associates has undertaken commissions ranging in size from small remodelings to projects in excess of $25 million. Building types have included residential, community facilities, educational, corporate, commercial, institutional, industrial and governmental projects. The firm has gained recognition for design excellence through design competitions, design awards, and the publication of its projects.
Since its founding, the heart of the practice has been educational projects. Among its commissions are over 100 projects at the three Northern California campuses of the University of California. Having consulted to the Executive Dean and Dean of Physical Sciences representing the Astronomy Department stakeholders in the design by Studios Architecture of New Campbell Hall, Bill gained a unique perspective of how the University conducts and manages projects. For seven years Bill was also a member of the Campus Design Review Committee at UC Berkeley, participating in the consultant selection process for numerous campus projects.
