Congratulations to MBB Partner Sara Grant for being recognized in the 2021 Crain’s New York Notable Women Business Owners List.

Sara’s leadership is key to the success of our women-owned architecture firm. Augmenting the leadership of founding partners Mary Burnham and Jeffrey Murphy, Sara reinforces the firm’s capabilities as one of New York’s top women-owned architectural design and planning firms. In a profession that has yet to achieve gender parity, women-led architecture firms like MBB Architects are an important piece of creating a more equitable field.

As Crain’s notes, Sara “is an expert in designing and managing complex, multi-phased educational and institutional projects,” adding:

“In the past 18 months, she has completed work for Park Avenue Synagogue, Grace Church School and the Rodeph Sholom School, which received multiple awards. Grant specializes in designing equitable, healthy and sustainable environments that bring together intergenerational communities. Her published research on fair design in public settings has led to recent invitations to present her ideas and research to various divisions of the American Institute of Architects about equity in urban school environments; implementing best practices to support equity, diversity and inclusion in midsize firms; and on motherhood and career paths.”
