In the news: M. David Lee, and the late Donald Stull

The Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) recently announced the 2022 recipients of the GSD Alumni Council Award winners. Two of this year’s four recipients are – M. David Lee, FAIA, NCARB, NOMA, and the late Donald Stull, FAIA (in memoriam) – being recognized for their decades long outstanding leadership in architecture and planning. This award underscores the essential role GSD alumni play in leading change around the world, within their communities and across their areas of practice.

Donald Stull was an African American pioneer in the profession having established the award-winning Stull and Lee, Inc. (S+L) architecture, urban design, and planning firm in 1966. Before his death in 2020, Donald was a member of the distinguished College of Fellows of the AIA, and recipient of the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) 1997 Award of Honor.

M. David Lee started with the firm while still in graduate school in 1969 and became a named partner in 1983. With David at the helm as S+L’s president, the firm has continued its leadership in the design of multi-family housing; educational, civic and health care institutions; office buildings; retail, and manufacturing facilities. David is a fellow in the AIA, a past president of the Boston Society of Architects, and was the recipient of BSA’s 2000 Award of Honor, among many other awards.
