Sally Levine

Sally L. Levine, AIA, is an architect, artist and educator. She has both professional and personal interests in adapting environments to accommodate the range of human abilities. In her architecture and design practice she uses a human-centered approach to design. In her personal life she deals with the needs of her aging father, who suffers from dementia. This real-life experience gives Ms. Levine a deep appreciation for the need to find ways to make environments safe and secure for everyone - of all ages.

Throughout her career, Ms. Levine has worked on a number of public projects, including libraries, schools, universities and museums. In her own practice she served as interior design consultant for the City of Chicago on its 911 Emergency Communication Center and on its proto-type police station. Currently she is practicing architecture in Cleveland where she has designed an intergenerational playground and garden for the Fairhill Center for Aging. This past fall, Ms. Levine served as board liaison to the first annual Universal Design Awards program.

Ms. Levine has been a member of the Interior Architecture and the Visual Communication faculties at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; she has taught architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and illustration at the Massachusetts College of Art. Recently she served concurrently as Director of the School of Interior Design and Director of Visual Studies at the Boston Architectural Center.
