Chris Collett Named Workplace Client Leader at BHDP Architecture

BHDP Architecture is proud to announce the promotion of Chris Collett to Client Leader for its Workplace market. With 20 years at the firm, Chris has become a trusted partner to clients and a thoughtful mentor to team members. His journey from Intern Architect to Lead Architect—and now Client Leader—reflects his deep commitment to both client success and people-centered design.

Chris has played a pivotal role in leading BHDP’s relationship with Fifth Third Bank, ensuring the bank’s evolving workplace needs are met with creativity, strategic insight, and seamless execution.

In his new role, Chris will continue strengthening client relationships and collaborating closely with stakeholders and interdisciplinary teams to deliver design solutions aligned with organizational goals—supporting culture, collaboration, and performance.

“Chris brings clarity and care to every relationship he manages,” said Drew Suszko, Workplace Market Leader at BHDP. “He listens deeply, leads with purpose, and has a unique ability to translate business strategy into space. As we continue to help organizations navigate change and drive results through workplace design, Chris’s leadership will be a key part of that work.”

“This next chapter is both exciting and humbling,” said Collett. “I’ve grown tremendously at BHDP over the last 20 years, and I’m incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built and the environments we’ve shaped together. I look forward to continuing that work and partnering with clients to create spaces that shape culture and foster strategic results.”
