About Jarett Anderson

Architecture is both an art and a science — and is performed collaboratively in service to others. Every project is an opportunity to positively impact our client\'s daily lives. The people, the programming, the concepts, the details, the execution… it all matters. And no two clients or projects are ever the same.My experience spans:Health Care — with particular interests in Behavioral Health, Simulation Labs, Emergency Departments and Public Spaces. Science & Technology environmentsLearning Environments — K-12, Higher Education and Special EducationI\'m fortunate to be a Shareholder at BWBR - and maintain a deep interest in design, design technology, and workflows that elevate both client outcomes and project teams. Areas I’m especially curious about and often serve as a resource for include-Project delivery methods-Scope, schedule, and budget alignment (and the value conversations that follow)-Collaborative frameworks, work plans, BIM execution plans, and LOD-Building systems, materials, energy use and daylighting analysis-Podcasting and exploring forward-looking questions that shape our industryQuestions guiding my work right now-How can innovation and practicality come together to deliver simplicity and good design-How can the disruptive force of AI be meaningfully leveraged by design teams at all levels-As a dad to a child with special needs, how does inclusivity (equity) manifest — or fail to manifest — in the built environment?Speaking & Leadership Highlights-2025 Midwest Interprofessional Conference (Simulation) — Speaker-2022–24 Host, Side of Design podcast (BWBR)-2021 HCD Conference — Speaker (Behavioral Health renovation and safety)-2020 Leadership St. Paul Graduate-AIA Leadership Roles-2018 AIA Saint Paul President-Elect -2018 AIA MN Director, Saint Paul Chapter -2017 AIA Saint Paul Treasurer -2016 AIA MN Leadership ForumAbout MeI\'m both a husband and a widower. My wife and 4 children reside in New Brighton, MN. Depending upon the season (and available free time) you might find me throwing stones at the Saint Paul Curling Club, out hacking away on a golf course - or recording music and trying not to wake-up the kids!A few quotes that resonate with me:“I really don\'t talk well without a pencil in my hand.” — Ralph Rapson“What would we be without wishful thinking?” — Jeff Tweedy“You can\'t build a reputation on what you\'re going to do.” — Henry Ford
