Terry Squyres joined GWWO in 1997 and became a member of the management team in 1998, quickly distinguishing herself through management of many of GWWO’s large, complex new construction projects. She worked for 9 years with the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association on projects that transformed the site’s visitor experience, including two new award-winning visitor and museum buildings. She has also built relationships with numerous K-12 and higher education organizations, supervising projects that include the new 85,000-SF Towson University West Village Commons building and the new Dundalk & Sollers Point High School, a 360,000-SF, 1900-student comprehensive and technical high school complex.
As Principal, Terry brings her design skills and attention to detail to the firm's design implementation efforts, overseeing a rigorous review process focused on translating design intent into coordinated, thorough documents that result in the construction of elegantly detailed and well-executed buildings. Her efforts are integral to maintaining the standards for design quality and coordination at the heart of GWWO’s practice.
Terry has served on the Baltimore Chapter of the AIA’s Board of Directors and as chair of both the lecture series and the communications committees. In these roles, she was instrumental in establishing the “Ask the Architect” column in Chesapeake Home magazine, for which she was columnist from 2002-2006. She currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore. She has completed coursework in advanced lighting design, has served on the Board of the National Council on Qualifications for Lighting Professionals, and has been a juror for the International Interior Design Association’s Lighting Design Awards. Terry holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Notre Dame.
