LORI GARRETT

When Lori Garrett was studying architecture at the University of Virginia in the 1980s, she recalls, there wasn’t a women‘s restroom near her classrooms. “That changed shortly after I graduated,” Garrett says. “But clearly, in the ’80s, it was very male-dominated.” Garrett went on to oversee the design of buildings at colleges and universities across […]
