After more than four decades of contributions to Hixson and the architecture profession, Bryon Sutherly, Senior Project Architect and long‑time leader of Hixson’s Corporate Workplace Strategic Business Unit, has retired! Bryon began his Hixson journey in 1980 as a University of Cincinnati co‑op student, spending more than a decade with the firm before departing in the mid‑1990s to launch his own practice. Ten years later, he returned to Hixson, where he continued his career as a lead architect. Throughout his long tenure at Hixson, Bryon played a pivotal role in shaping Hixson’s Corporate Workplace portfolio, guiding programming, design, and strategic direction, and was a trusted voice with clients and colleagues alike. A frequent speaker for CoreNet and AIA, Bryon also served as Past President of CoreNet Global’s IKO Chapter, extending his leadership beyond the firm.

Bryon’s leadership, collaboration, and dedication to integrated design have had a lasting mark on our firm, and we wish him all the best in a well‑earned retirement!
