Sidney Griffin
DIRECTOR AT-LARGE

If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.

‒ Toni Morrison

Sidney Griffin, AIA, NOMA, licensed architect with 20+ years of firm experience and an established leader in Building Information Modeling, specializes in the tools of digital practice and building technology. Sidney presently holds the position of BIM Project Manager for the University of Virginia Facilities Management where he is championing the integration of BIM into University operations and business practices.  He has received both Master and Bachelor of Science degrees in Architecture from the University of Virginia.  

Though technology in practice is his professional focus, Sidney also aspires to be a lightning rod for the significant advancement of equity and justice for minorities in Architecture and adjacent professions. He believes this starts with working with our young learners to kindle an awareness of design as a viable career path for all who envision better environments within which we live, work, play, and learn. This is especially true for people that have endured existing in spaces that were not designed to embrace them, if not outright reject them.
