Susan Morgan

Principal, Education Practice Leader

CannonDesign


Across more than two decades, Susan Morgan, AIA, LEED AP, BD+C, has invested in design as a tool to enrich learning for all ages. Her approach to working with clients nationally on projects spanning early education, elementary school, higher education, and non-traditional learning spaces is grounded in understanding, an orientation that centers the client and invites adaptation of her expertise and insights to each specific culture, institution, community, and client she serves. For two decades, Susan has practiced and taught architecture concurrently, an unconventional track of dual service and an invaluable asset to her work planning and designing schools. As an education practice leader for CannonDesign within the East Region, Susan is committed to strengthening existing relationships and exploring new opportunities to use design as a tool for positive change and transformation. She has a proven track record of client leadership, stakeholder engagement, and a commitment to student success. Her expertise is anchored by technical design quality with a focus on complex renovations, historic structures, and high-performance sustainability. In addition to practice and teaching, Susan volunteers with the AIA at the national level as the vice chair of the Committee on Architecture for Education, and as the co-chair of the Boston Society of Architects Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Network.
