Perkins+Will has named Diana Davis as managing director of the firm’s Houston, Texas office. A graduate of Rice University School of Architecture, Davis returns to Houston after 18 years in Perkins+Will’s Atlanta, Georgia office, where she served major healthcare clients such as The Mayo Clinic, Duke University and the University of Texas. Davis succeeds Raymond Beets, who has led the Houston practice for 13 years and will retire later this year.
A licensed architect, LEED Accredited Professional and certified Lean Black Belt via the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers, Davis has earned the trust of clients around the country for her deftness in project management and delivery, as well as her design acumen and business savvy. She has played an integral role on everything from conceptual planning and programming to project management and contract documentation. Her background in healthcare will complement the Houston office’s core areas of expertise, which include science and technology, as well as higher education. It will also help the office expand its offerings to serve a wider variety of clients.
