ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Architecture firm Trivers is expanding its ownership group with two additional members.
Ashley Hoolihan, project manager, and associate and Amanda Truemper, senior project manager and associate, have joined Trivers’ ownership group.
As associate principals, Hoolihan and Truemper will help lead the firm alongside principals Joe Brinkmann, Joel Fuoss and Amy Gilbertson, and associate principals Neil Chace and Martin Padilla.
Brinkmann, Fuoss and Gilbertson assumed ownership of Trivers in 2015 from Andrew Trivers, who founded the firm in 1975. With the goal of creating career development opportunities for others within the firm, the three principals developed a strategy to add new owners over time.
With a longstanding commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, Trivers is also proud to increase the number of women in the ownership group. According to the latest American Institute of Architects (AIA) Membership Demographics Report, only 17 percent of principals in architecture firms are women.
Hoolihan earned her bachelor’s degree in architectural studies from Southern Illinois University and master’s degrees in architecture and construction management from Washington University in St. Louis before beginning her career at Trivers in 2011. She focuses on leading Trivers’ education practice and has worked on projects at WashU, the University of Missouri system, Missouri State University and the University of Illinois, among others.
Since earning her bachelor’s degree in architecture from WashU in 2000 and her master’s degree in architecture and certificate in historic preservation from the University of Southern California in 2005, Truemper’s more than 25 years of experience in corporate workplace design and branded environments is paired with a passion for historic and adaptive reuse. Throughout her career, Truemper has worked on projects in the hospitality, mixed-use and multi-family, retail, education and mission-driven sectors while contributing to business development and strategic management initiatives.
