Channing Harris

Board of Directors

Channing grew up in rural Massachusetts where he was first educated and became interested in nature and industrial and architectural history. Upon finishing graduate school in landscape architecture, he began a 39-year career with Peter Rolland’s firm, later headed by Shavaun Towers (name evolved to Towers | Golde), first in Rye, NY and moving to New Haven in 1985. Channing has helped design and manage projects primarily for universities, hospitals and other institutions, usually collaborating with architects, engineers and construction professionals. He particularly enjoyed projects involving historical research or restoration, including Yale and New Haven’s historic landscapes, parks and cemeteries.
