Major Hartford-based architectural firm Amenta Emma Architects announced that its co-founder, Anthony Amenta, will be stepping down from his leadership post.
Amenta, who founded the firm in Hartford with Robert Emma in 1985, will be relinquishing his president role, but remain with the firm in an advisory capacity to a new leadership team.
Taking over as president is Michael Tyre. Tyre will serve as president-elect until assuming the role of president in January 2025, the firm said.
Meantime, Myles Brown will serve as vice president, and Robert Swain will serve as managing principal. Jenna McClure, who was named a principal in 2023, will become the director of personnel, and Craig Battisto will become the director of project operations, the firm said.
“The firm is in great hands with this leadership team,” Amenta said. “They completely understand and embrace the DNA that has made this firm successful for the last 40 years. I’m excited to work closely with Michael and the rest of the team as we continue to build on the firm’s mission to ‘make a positive impact through inspired design with exceptional people.’”
Since being founded in Hartford in 1985, Amenta Emma has opened offices in Boston and New York City and built a nationwide portfolio that spans the academic, commercial, civic, senior living, multifamily residential and workplace design markets.
