Jane Weinzapfel is associated in Columbus, Indiana, with the 1991 additions to Schmitt Elementary School and Northside Middle School, both designed through Leers Weinzapfel Associates. A founding principal of the Boston firm, Weinzapfel helped build one of the country’s most respected women-led architecture practices, known for civic, educational, and institutional work shaped by careful attention to context, materials, and public use. She received her architecture degree from the University of Arizona and was a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome in 2002. Leers Weinzapfel Associates received the 2007 AIA Architecture Firm Award, becoming the first women-led firm to earn that distinction, and Weinzapfel was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 1994.
