Faculty member Armando Enrique Montilla Navarro died this afternoon in a car accident in Anderson.
He was an assistant professor in the School of Architecture in the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities (CAAH).
Rick Goodstein, dean of CAAH said, “We’re all saddened by the loss of such a bright, young architecture educator.”
“Assistant Professor Armando Montilla was a passionate, compassionate, talented and important member of the Clemson Architecture faculty,” said Kate Schwennsen, director of the School of Architecture. “He was one of the most capable teachers and critics I have ever met. He was consistently enthusiastic about the possibilities of our students to do amazing things, and the potential of architecture to add to the world. He will be so sorely missed by all of us.”
Service information will be posted on the Inside Clemson obituary page when it is available.
