Jeffrey Gannon AIA, LEED GA
Jeff is motivated as an architect by the ability to achieve a positive impact on people with design. He enjoys solving technical- and organization-based problems, particularly as related to community and multi-purpose projects.
Jeff’s advocacy of community initiatives is supported by his record as one of PCA’s most intrepid volunteers. When he’s not designing PCA’s latest retail, multifamily and adaptive reuse projects, Jeff enjoys history, music, coaching and playing soccer and working on his “log cabin” home.

My earliest design memory I had joined an art class in high school, and we did an architecture project. I enjoyed it and realized I really enjoyed drawing and building (ie: LEGO and Lincoln Logs) while growing up so thought I'd give it a shot as a degree and career.

My favorite space The Mercedes Benz Museum in Germany was the coolest building I've ever been in with impeccable design. My favorite (indoor) space will always be the Boston Public Library (Copley Square). It cemented my love for design and architecture during college as I spent a lot of time there.

The most inspiring part of my job is creating spaces and buildings that help shape the public realm.

A typical day for me is very structured, almost always with some work, coffee and playing with my two sons.
