Buro Happold, a world-class practice of over 3,000 engineers and consultants globally, has announced
the appointment of East Coast-based Denzil Gallagher as US Managing Director and Partner. The
move brings Gallagher, a dynamic leader with over three decades experience with Buro Happold, into
this key post at a time of increased success and expansion. Known as a leader on climate change
action and a longstanding partner at the firm, Gallagher takes the reins for the 12 offices and over 450
professionals in the United States.

The announcement, made by the CEO of Buro Happold, Oliver Plunkett, came as Buro Happold also
elevated 15 senior firm members to the rank of partner, bringing the firm’s total to 99 partners globally.
Plunkett announced in late June that Gallagher, who had been serving as the interim managing director
of the U.S. Region, would assume the permanent position effective immediately.

“I’m pleased to announce that our long-time partner, Denzil Gallagher, has been appointed US
Managing Director. Throughout his over 30 years at Buro Happold, including a long tenure as partner,
Denzil has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and creativity in our teams’
work and ensuring we deliver the highest standards for our clients. I can think of no one better to lead
our US business during our next phase of rapid growth in this strategically important market.”

Gallagher has served most recently as a partner of Buro Happold, and he specializes in integrated
environmental solutions. He started the MEP Engineering and Sustainability disciplines in the U.S.
region over 20 years ago, and prior to that he worked in Buro Happold’s UK and Middle East regions.
A leader in delivering groundbreaking design and technologies, Gallagher helps forge new models for
collaborative design by engaging the full project team – clients, architects, consultants, and builders –
to enhance building performance. This creative, boundary-breaking work has contributed to the Tower
at PNC Plaza in Pittsburgh, a technologically advanced and sustainable office high-rise that exceeded
LEED Platinum certification and, when completed was billed as the ‘greenest commercial building in
the world.’”

As an expert in the field, Gallagher frequently speaks at industry events and symposiums on integrated
environmental design and innovative engineering methodologies for a wide range of projects from
commercial buildings and mixed-use urban developments to higher education, cultural institutions and
science and technology building.

Other recent projects with Gallagher’s leadership have included the University of Pennsylvania’s Amy Gutmann Hall,
Philadelphia’s first mass timber building, opening this fall; the award-winning Arizona State University’s Rob and Melani Walton
Center for Planetary Health as well as the Beus Center for Law and Society; Yale University’s new, energy-efficient residential
colleges; and the regenerative and innovative Expo 2020 Sustainability Pavilion in Dubai.

“I am delighted to continue our transformation and growth in the United States, especially at this time
when Buro Happold is cementing its global leadership in building environments, sustainability and
climate change,” says Gallagher. “Buro Happold is committed to the highest levels of design, creativity
and environmental stewardship, and I look forward to working with our clients to help solve their
challenges in this space.”
