As a partner at SOM, Laura Ettelman oversees the design and planning of a diverse range of projects across the globe. Her portfolio includes some of the world’s largest aviation and transportation hubs, new hospitals and research centers for healthcare and science, and campus master planning for both higher education and the civic and government sector. Some of her most notable work includes Terminal 2 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, and Moynihan Train Hall in Manhattan. Ettelman balances her project work with leading the firm’s day-to-day operations. In 2020, she was elected to SOM’s Executive Committee along with partners Carrie Byles and Xuan Fu – a milestone that marked the first time three women have held SOM’s top leadership posts. Ettelman also currently serves on New York City’s Advisory Council in the Construction and Real Estate Sector, which guides and informs the city’s efforts to restart its economy in response to COVID-19.
