Managing Principal, CO Architects

Knudsen, the managing principal of CO Architects, has led award-winning,
large-scale academic, laboratory and health care projects on
university and health care campuses across the country. CO Architects
was ranked by the Business Journal as L.A.’s third largest architecture
firm based on last year’s billings in the county. Knudsen
was instrumental in transitioning the firm from computer-aided design
to building-information modeling, for which she has been recognized
nationally. Knudsen also has been a long-time advocate for equal representation.
The Business Journal in March named her the CEO of
the Year, among large and midsized company chiefs, at its Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion Symposium and Awards.
