Ashley McGraw Architects names Broderick president

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Ashley McGraw Architects announced it has named Matthew Broderick, a company principal, as the new president of the architecture firm.

“In his 24 years at Ashley McGraw, Matt has played a central role in building the culture as well as the practice,” Ed McGraw, Ashley McGraw founding partner and CEO, said in a news release. “I look forward to continuing our partnership and, together, guiding our team and our clients to exceptional results.”

McGraw will continue in his role as CEO.

“As president, I am excited about taking the firm to the next level of success,” said Broderick, who joined Ashley McGraw in 1994.

An “expert in innovative sustainability solutions,” Broderick is currently leading the design team for a research facility at Binghamton University, Nuthatch Hollow, which is targeting full “Living Building and Passive House” certification, the firm said. Work is also underway on a new net-zero office building in the Lehigh Valley. Net-zero buildings create at least as much energy as they consume in a year, the release stated.

As leader of Ashley McGraw’s higher-education group, Broderick counts Syracuse University, Cornell University, Colgate University, and several SUNY campuses among his clients. He has directed “numerous” projects at Syracuse University, ranging from science and laboratory spaces and athletic facilities to high-tech classroom buildings and administrative offices, the firm said.

Broderick said he envisions expanding the firm’s client base in the educational sectors of pre-K-12 and higher education, as well as growing its work in the housing and civic markets.

Broderick holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Syracuse University.
