Tony Schmitz

Born and raised in Dallas, I earned my architecture degree from Texas A&M and have spent 30 years specializing in higher education design. My passion lies in creating green, healthy buildings that enhance communities. One project that stands out in my journey is the TCU School of Medicine, designed as the university’s first off-campus building. It was created to help foster “empathetic scholars,” with a focus on building connections between future doctors and their patients. Outside of work, I’m a family man who loves traveling and riding motorcycles.
