BHDP Architecture is pleased to announce the promotion of Alejandro J. (AJ) Medina to Client Leader for Higher Education. Based in the firm’s Cincinnati office, AJ brings nearly 20 years of architectural experience—and a deep, focused understanding of higher education environments—to this new leadership role.
Since joining BHDP seven years ago, AJ has dedicated his efforts exclusively to the firm’s Higher Education market, working closely with colleges and universities to design and deliver environments that enhance the student experience and support institutional goals. In this new role, he will continue building strong client partnerships, guiding projects from concept through completion, and helping shape campus spaces that foster collaboration, innovation, and well-being.
“AJ’s ability to connect design excellence with strategic insight has made him an essential part of our Higher Education team,” said Paul Orban, Higher Education Market Leader at BHDP. “His promotion to Client Leader reflects not only his continued leadership on projects but also the trust he’s built with clients and teammates alike.”
With extensive experience across all phases of project development—from programming and schematic design to construction administration—AJ combines technical precision with a strong design sensibility. His critical eye and thoughtful approach enable him to deliver student-centered solutions that align with the evolving needs of higher education institutions.
“I’m honored to take on this new role and continue the meaningful work we’re doing with colleges and universities,” said Medina. “I look forward to deepening our client relationships and helping create transformative spaces where students can thrive.”
