Kent Salisbury

Kent is a Project Manager in our Dallas office, bringing over two decades of architectural experience and a profound passion for advancing higher education projects. A proud University of Kansas graduate, Kent began his career with Treanor in our Topeka office in the early 2000s, where he made significant contributions to our Preservation and Justice teams. Kent enhances our Higher Education studio, offering invaluable mentoring and leadership.

Kent’s experience, particularly as a Texas architect and registered LEED AP, uniquely positions him to elevate our project capabilities in Dallas. He notably led one of the first LEED-certified projects in Kansas, pioneering sustainable practices before they became industry standards. His leadership and innovative approach to design align perfectly with our mission to help clients reach further by planning for student success, supporting academic opportunities, and making the most of every project.

Outside of his professional pursuits, Kent enjoys life on a 250+ acre cattle ranch in the Blackland Prairie east of Dallas, where he raises three sons. This enriching environment inspires his commitment to creating architectural spaces that respect history, tradition, and culture while fostering community-wide learning experiences.
