Tom Glenn High School

Leander ISD

Tom Glenn High School is designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate new district standards for improvement as well as supporting future changes to learning . The school encompasses a model based on small academic houses which facilitate small group learning and close community networking among students. Larger common areas such as the library and the cafeteria are centrally located to provide easy access for teachers to use these spaces in their curricula and to provide better circulation and flow for students during hall change hours. A separate building houses athletics and extra-curricular activities to cut energy costs and provide increased monitoring and safety for after-school programs.

I've been with Pfluger for nearly two decades, and in that time, I've found my passion in educational architecture. As managing principal of the Austin office, I get to guide projects from concept to completion, tackling challenges and building relationships along the way. Knowing that the spaces we create have a lasting impact is what drives me. I hope our buildings make students and educators stop, appreciate their surroundings, and feel a little happier and healthier. Outside of work, I love staying active—whether it's running, sailing, hiking, or even watercolor painting. It's my way of unwinding and keeping my creativity going. My sister and I are also working on a fun challenge: climbing the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks. This summer we hit number 13!

If you could spend a day in someone else's shoes, whose would they be and why? I'd be an astronaut—just for a day in space without the hassle of getting there and back!
