In 1976 Glen Stephens proudly established a “client centered” architectural firm dedicated to designing buildings that are functional, striking and innovative. Glen’s designs are the result of carefully listening to each customers’ particular need and requirements. Glen’s designs target identifying the distinctiveness of the clients’ business and not his.

Since inception, Glen’s vision of a “client centered” architectural firm continues to attract wise business people ready to embrace his unique approach in innovative design excellence. SAA Architecture LLC. has designed well over 20 million square feet of commercial, manufacturing, distribution, bio-lab, office and retail space in the Mid Atlantic area of the United States.
Glen has developed and designed twelve R&D, retail, office and distribution facilities that he has participated in as a partner. Glen has a superb track record in commercial real estate and property management, making him ever mindful of client needs, scheduling and budget considerations—
just ask his satisfied customers!

Glen earned his Bachelor of Architecture Degree from the University of Maryland. Glen was fortunate to be a member of the first graduating class of the school of Architecture at Maryland. The experience of being a senior architectural student for five years has provided him with more years of studio design than Master degree graduates.

Glen has an unrelenting thirst for knowledge, new materials, and technology. He has become an acknowledged leader in Tilt-up Concrete Construction and he continues to develop innovative adaptations of this and other technologies. Simply put, Glen is always staying on the leading edge in architecture. He often visits other states to picture, study, and review what others are doing with tilt-up construction.

As you might suspect, Glen is frequently asked to speak and share his years of wisdom at schools and professional associations. Glen is a Registered Architect in the states of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia. Glen also holds a NCARB certification.

Because of his vast knowledge and experience in designing all types of workspaces, Glen is able to share his knowledge on material handling, advancements in distribution technologies, as well as other aspects of plant, warehousing, and office and retail design.

Glen Stephens has been asked to serve on the Board of Directors of the Tilt-up Concrete Association (TCA). Team SAA has been an active supporter of the TCA since its creation and has the distinction of being considered charter members. Glen’s selection marks the very first time an Architect has been elected to this board. Glen’s selection is an acknowledgment of Team SAA’s leadership in promoting Tilt-up construction on the east coast for over 18 years.

Glen prides himself on keeping to his three principles of architecture: striking, functional, and innovative!
