TruexCullins is excited to announce the promotions of Tom Karlhuber, AIA, and Cam Featherstonhaugh, FCSI, AIA, to the role of Associate Principal.

Through their leadership, Tom and Cam have contributed significantly to the growth and success of the firm. They both champion design quality, technical rigor, and strong client relationships, and they understand how design can support and strengthen the communities it serves.

 

Tom Karlhuber, AIA

Tom Karlhuber joined TruexCullins in 2017 and brings more than two decades of architectural experience to his new role. Prior to joining the firm, Tom worked with Safdie Architects and Ann Beha Architects (now Annum), experiences that helped shape his strong design sensibility and thoughtful approach to complex projects.

Tom holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia and a Master of Architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. His ability to work across scales and typologies reflects a deep understanding of how architecture shapes both individual experience and broader community life.

At TruexCullins, Tom brings clarity and creativity to higher education projects as well as mixed-use, cultural, and community spaces. He has been instrumental in the expansion of the University of Vermont’s athletic facilities, including Varsity Athletics and the new Recreation and Wellness Center. Currently, Tom is supporting large-scale hospitality and mixed-use developments such as the five-star Orchards Resort in Southern Vermont and the multi-billion-dollar Killington Six Peaks Village.

Outside the studio, Tom is actively engaged in civic life, serving on the Shelburne Planning Commission and the Shelburne Museum Barnstormers Steering Committee. His promotion to Associate Principal reflects his design excellence, leadership, and commitment to the values that define TruexCullins.

 

Cam Featherstonhaugh, FCSI, AIA

Cam Featherstonhaugh has been with TruexCullins since 2013 and has played a central role in the growth and leadership of the firm’s K–12 Education Studio. Cam brings deep expertise in net-zero architecture, campus facility planning, building science, and educational design.

Currently, Cam is working with school districts throughout the state, helping them plan for the future while navigating a complex and evolving education construction and funding landscape. His ability to guide clients through regulatory requirements, funding processes, and long-term capital planning has made him a trusted advisor.

Earlier this year, Cam was named a Fellow of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), a recognition of his leadership in CSI, technical expertise, collaborative spirit, and dedication to advancing construction industry standards. Through his work with CSI, Cam has helped shape national conversations around equity in school design, net-zero building strategies, and the future of the profession.

Cam is a lifelong Vermonter, with a Master of Architecture degree from Norwich University. He is currently a member of the Norwich University School of Architecture and Art Board of Fellows and the CSI Foundation Board of Trustees, as well as other community groups around Vermont.

 

Congratulations, Tom and Cam!

We are grateful for your leadership, expertise, and continued commitment to shaping places that support people and their communities.
