ERIE — Bostwick Design Partnership, an architecture and planning firm with offices in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Erie, has announced the promotion of David Brennan to partner.
Formerly senior director of the Erie office, Brennan brings decades of design expertise, civic leadership and deep local insight to the firm’s ownership team. A lifelong resident of Erie, Brennan has been a driving force behind transformative projects across the region while fostering enduring relationships with clients, institutions and community partners. His promotion reflects Bostwick Design’s continued investment in Erie — not only as a design collaborator but as an active stakeholder in the city’s growth and future.
“I’m honored to step into this new role,” Brennan said. “As someone who has lived, worked and contributed to Erie all my life, I believe deeply in the power of design to create vibrant, connected communities. This partnership reflects Bostwick’s commitment to Erie — not just through projects, but through people and presence.”
Founded in 1962, Bostwick Design Partnership is a nationally recognized practice known for its work in healthcare, education, libraries, adaptive reuse and commercial interiors. The firm’s three offices are locally led, ensuring each community has a strong voice at the leadership table and a responsive partner in design.
“We are thrilled to welcome David Brennan to the ownership team,” said Robert Bostwick, managing partner. “David’s leadership during the past 11 years, combined with his deep ties to Erie, strengthens our ability to serve the region with integrity, creativity and lasting impact.”
Brennan is a registered architect in Pennsylvania, a member of the American Institute of Architects, and certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). He earned both a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in architecture from Kent State University.
Beyond his professional work, Brennan has long served Erie through civic leadership. He was elected president of Erie City Council and continues to hold leadership roles with the City of Erie Historic Review Commission, Enterprise Development Fund Board, and Preservation Erie. With projects throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Florida, Georgia, and Nevada, Bostwick Design remains rooted in thoughtful architecture, community partnership, and regional leadership.
