"The new name recognizes the firm’s growth and evolution from a San Francisco-based consultancy to a national entity with a thriving New York City office and a busy Minneapolis project office, marking yet another step in the ongoing development of the firm," said Len Auerbach.
The change of name also reflects the rise of two of the company’s principals, Steve Pollock, ASTC and Steven Friedlander, ASTC. The two join S. Leonard Auerbach as principals in charge of all project work. Pollock has been with the San Francisco office since 1985 and has been responsible for the planning, programming, design and management of over 200 projects. Friedlander is in charge of the New York office and contributes over 16 years’ experience to the firm. Patricia Glasow, IALD, LC continues in her position in charge of the Auerbach · Glasow architectural lighting design group. Holly Auerbach continues as the firms’ Chief Financial Officer for both Auerbach · Pollock · Friedlander and Auerbach · Glasow. Finally, S. Leonard Auerbach, who developed the firm over the past 30 years, continues to lead project design philosophy and guide company policy.
