Rob Quigley is a nationally recognized architect whose work has garnered more than 60 design awards from the American
Institute of Architects (AIA). In 2005, the AIA California Council honored Rob with the Maybeck Award—California's equivalent
of the Gold Medal—for three decades of architectural design excellence.

A native of Southern California, Rob earned his Bachelor's of Architecture at the University of Utah in 1969. Upon graduation
he entered the Peace Corps, where he developed his skills designing and building affordable housing in underserved areas
of Chile. After two years of service, Rob settled in San Diego and opened his own architecture and planning firm. Shaped by
his early experiences, he became a pioneer in the design of architecturally significant yet affordable housing for
the working poor.

Rob was also an early leader in the sustainable design movement, designing solar-powered homes in the 1970s—long before
"green" became an industry buzzword. His work is driven by a deep sense of responsibility to conserve natural resources.

A longtime student of the public realm, Rob has focused his recent efforts on civic and academic buildings. Current work in
Southern California includes the San Diego New Central Library and the McMahan House at CSU San Marcos. In Northern California recent projects include the Leslie Shao-ming Sun Field Station at Stanford University, the West Valley Branch Library in San José, and the Opportunity Center of the Midpeninsula in Palo Alto.
