BAYLEE RUSHTON EARNED HER MASTER OF Architecture at the University of Utah in 2017. As her award nomination says, her career trajectory has been “practically vertical and an absolute burst of success.” Before receiving her M.Arch, Baylee studied at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain, then completed her Bachelor of Science in Architecture at the University of Utah. She then participated in the Design Build Bluff program during her graduate studies. She became a licensed architect within six months of graduation. Her practice experience includes work as a project manager/architect at GSBS Architects and Lloyd Architects. She is currently the CFO and partner of Studio Long Playing. In 2004, she received a full scholarship in Goldman Sach’s 10,000 Small Businesses program. Her portfolio includes a variety of projects, such as the 45,000-square-foot Kearns Training Center for the Olympic Speed Skating Oval, a building with a complicated program on a tricky site. Recent projects include the Fashion Institute at SLCC; multiple science labs and other educational facilities; a wellness center; and a bar/restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City (Junior’s Tavern). These projects shape the future of students, add to the social life of Salt Lake City and improve the health of users at the wellness center. As partner and CFO at Studio Long Playing, Baylee is actively engaged in financial decisions that support organizations such as the local NOMA Chapter, Women in Architecture and the 4th Street Clinic. She demonstrates her leadership through community involvement, always seeking to advance and increase awareness of the profession through involvement with the University of Utah and other organizations mentioned above. She is well-respected for the quality of her design by her clients, consultants, architectural colleagues and the users of her space.
