SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Lawrence Technological University’s College of Architecture and Design has selected award-winning architect Salvatore Moschelli as its 27th Distinguished Architecture Alumni (DAA) Award recipient.
The Distinguished Architecture Alumni Award recognizes alumni for their professional accomplishments, dedication to community service, and support of LTU’s College of Architecture and Design.
Moschelli, a project executive at Fanning Howey, is known for designing buildings for K-12 and higher education clients. His portfolio includes the 2020 Bond Improvements for Birmingham Public Schools, the George and Mary Turek Hall of Science for Detroit Catholic Central, and the Munger Graduate Residences for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
A champion of sustainability, Moschelli has led multiple teams in completing LEED Gold-certified projects emphasizing environmentally responsible building practices. His passion for sustainable design and commitment to energy efficiency have made him a leader in shaping future-oriented learning environments.
Moschelli’s influence in architecture extends beyond his project work. He has significantly contributed to developing district-wide design standards, underscoring his considerable impact on architectural practices on a broad scale.
Moschelli graduated from LTU with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture in 2000 and a Master of Architecture in 2006. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), a LEED-accredited professional, and is active in the National Organization of Minority Architects. In 2017, he was honored with the AIA Detroit Young Architect Award.
“Sam Moschelli is the epitome of an LTU architecture graduate,” said Karl Daubmann, dean of the College of Architecture and Design. “In addition to his award-winning architectural accomplishments, he continues his history of giving back to his alma mater. Since he was a freshman student here, he has been involved in Sigma Phi Epsilon, the architecture student fraternity, and now works to provide scholarships for incoming freshmen each year.”
Moschelli will deliver a lecture and be formally presented with LTU’s DAA Award on October 2, 2024, at 1001 Woodward, Detroit, MI. The event, free and open to the public, starts at 6:30 p.m. For more information and to register, visit Eventbrite.
