“Learning is mostly about creating a context for motivation.”

Bill Gates

 

Glen Berry is a fourth generation Idahoan, and a descendent of working-class British Isle and German immigrants.  His mother Marlene was an art educator, and taught Glen how to draw and paint at an early age.  Glen grew up in Idaho, Utah, and New York.  His first job in an Architect’s office was with FFKR Architects in Salt Lake City, Utah, working as a design intern on the Howard Hughes Medical Institute/Eccles Genetics Research Center at the University of Utah.

 

From 1988 to 2000 Glen worked for RFD, Stichler Design Group, Jacobs, and HOK before starting Design for Science, a lab design consulting practice.  Design for Science was founded in response to a request from many architects for a lab planning consultant who was willing to share their experience and knowledge but allow the architects and engineers to do the construction documents. 

 

From 2018 to 2025 Glen worked as a Lab Architect with HERA Lab Planners in St. Louis and Gensler in San Francisco.   

 

In August of 2025 Glen started Design for Science II and returned to independent lab design consulting to Architects worldwide.
