Craig
Newick brings a wide variety of experiences to any design
project. He has worked in the offices of some of the country's most
well known architects where he has worked on practically every building
type at every scale. He is as adept at addressing the intricacies of
the design of a door handle where every decision and every millimeter
counts as he is in planning large institutional buildings with complex
programs which require multidisciplinary design teams to execute.
Craig Newick is
a registered architect in the State of Connecticut, a member of the
American Institute of Architects and the Connecticut Society of Architects.
He has a Master of Architecture degree from Yale University and a Bachelor
of Arts degree in Architecture from Lehigh University. In 2000, he won
an Honor Award from AIA Connecticut. In 1996, Newick and his frequent
collaborator, Linda Lindroth, were selected by the Architecture League

were invited by the Walker Art Center to participate in a competition
