Steven L. Anderson Chair in Architecture and Urban Studies

Funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, a private foundation that supports sustainable programs exhibiting an entrepreneurial spirit, the Steven L. Anderson Chair funds a full-time faculty member who is nationally respected in architecture and urban studies. The chair honors Steven L. Anderson, an architect and 1976 graduate of the University of Arkansas School of Architecture who serves as president of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.

The holder of the chair is devoted to teaching and directing the activities of the University of Arkansas Community Design Center. David Glasser, the first recipient of the endowment, led downtown redevelopment projects for more than 30 Arkansas cities. Under the leadership of Stephen Luoni, current holder of the chair, the Community Design Center has garnered numerous regional, national, and international planning and design awards.


"We want to develop new models for the public spaces that are forming in the 'non-places' of suburbia."

Stephen Luoni, Steven L. Anderson Chair in Architecture and Urban Studies
