Joyce Lenhardt, AIA, LEED AP

As one of the firm’s leads, Joyce provides programming and design for many of the firm’s projects with a particular interest and strength in master planning. Noted for her quick understanding of issues facing organizations from a client perspective, Joyce has extensive experience working with diverse groups in planning and reaching consensus.

Joyce holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Temple University where she and Philip Rodgers were classmates and where she is a member of the newly formed Advisory Committee. Joyce advances the field of architecture as a frequent invited visiting critic at many colleges and universities in the region. She is one of the founding members of the Philadelphia chapter of AIA Design For Aging. She is a member of the Carpenters’ Company of the City and County of Philadelphia. Founded in 1724, it is the oldest extant craft guild in the United States.

With a passion for mission-based organizations, Joyce contributes her time and expertise to a wide variety of non-profit organizations in her own community as well as the wider Philadelphia region. Her extensive knowledge of Zoning and Planning issues through her volunteer involvement with the Chestnut Hill Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee and her past and present Board memberships provide her with an understanding of the issues facing organizations from the perspective of the client and helps inform projects from concept to construction. Joyce is a board member and past president of Lifecycle WomanCare (formerly the Bryn Mawr Birth Center), past chair of the Philadelphia Protestant Home Visionary Committee, past board of managers of Stapeley in Germantown, as well as many other organizations supported throughout her career.
