Gary Haney

Gary Paul Haney FRIBA, FAIA[1] (born April 16, 1955) is an American architect, a design partner in the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

[2] Buildings on which he was lead designer include the supertall Al Hamra Tower in Kuwait City and civic buildings in the United States including two Public Safety Answering Centers in New York City and the United States Census Bureau headquarters and the redesign of the National Museum of American History, both in Washington, D.C. Born in Middletown, Ohio, Haney earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design in architecture from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he studied under Richard McCommons,[3] helping him design and construct private residences.

Al Hamra Tower in Kuwait City, completed in 2011, is an example of Haney and his team's use of building information modeling (BIM) technologies.

Haney was lead architect with David Childs on the United States Embassy in Ottawa, Ontario, dedicated by President Clinton in October 1999.

[24] Haney led the $85 million renovation of the National Museum of American History, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.[25] The highly trafficked museum, with nearly 3 million visitors in 2005, was closed the following year for the renovation, which increased light by creating a five-story atrium and re-organized 300,000 square feet of exhibition space around the original Star-Spangled Banner.
