“Dennis will strengthen and expand Goody Clancy’s capabilities to serve the needs of colleges and universities in a rapidly changing education environment,” says Goody Clancy president David Spillane AICP, RIBA. “His career has been dedicated to guiding change on campuses in ways that foster teaching and learning, and he’s been a leader for public and private institutions and within planning and design firms.
