Some people find their next lawnmower on Craigslist, or perhaps a new apartment. Sean Brennan found a career.
Receiving his master’s degree in architecture from Wentworth Institute of Technology in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Brennan was facing limited employment opportunities. So he moved back to Worcester, making ends meet as a substitute teacher and as a bartender at Via Italian Table. About a year later, he came across a Craigslist post about an opening at LPA | Architects. Finally given the chance to apply the knowledge he learned in college, Brennan quickly became a key player at the firm. He served as the main point of contact on a pro bono project designing the new St. John’s Food for the Poor pantry in Worcester and leading design of the $73-million, 800-student Beal Elementary School in Shrewsbury, which resulted in the school being named a Model Elementary School by the Massachusetts School Building Authority. He’s had an impact on the local cultural scene, working as a board member of the Worcester Arts Council to ease access to grants for artists from marginalized communities.
