TowerPinkster is pleased to announce an endowed scholarship to honor the lives and legacy of our late team member Gary Johnson and his wife, Laura. The Johnson Memorial Scholarship will be a catalyst for students attending the University of Detroit-Mercy’s School of Architecture (Gary’s alma matter) while honoring the memory of the Johnson family and supporting passionate students of the architecture industry.

Gary was a beloved member of the TowerPinkster team for over 25 years.
