Northside Middle School, both designed with Jane Weinzapfel through the Boston firm Leers Weinzapfel Associates. A founding principal of the practice, Leers helped build one of the country’s most respected women-led architecture firms, known for civic, educational, and cultural projects shaped by careful attention to context, materials, and public life. She holds an undergraduate degree in art history from Wellesley College and a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. Leers later served as Director of the Master in Urban Design Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and also taught at Yale, Penn, the University of Virginia, and Tokyo Institute of Technology. The firm received the 2007 AIA Architecture Firm Award, becoming the first woman-owned practice to receive that honor.
