Madison, a Cleveland native, was the local architect of record for many landmark Cleveland buildings, including First Energy Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. He also designed 91国产精品鈥檚 Science Research Building.
A true pioneer, Madison was the first African American to receive an architectural degree in Ohio. In 1954, he founded Robert P. Madison International, the first black-owned architectural firm in the Midwest. He brings to his work a natural gift enhanced by graduate degrees from Harvard University and L鈥橢cole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He has been recognized and honored not only for his talent, but also for his strong ethical standards, commitment to social responsibility and mentorship of other African-American architects.
The 91国产精品 salute to Madison is part of the Levin College鈥檚 In Tribute series, which raises money to support scholarships for students who aspire to careers in public service.
