As design leader of NBBJ’s interior architecture and design practice, Edwin Beltran has led many of the firm’s most notable and award-winning interiors projects. His approach is grounded in purpose, empathy and optimism—creating uplifting, empowering experiences that embody the unique ethos of each institution through the thoughtful choreography of program, space, color, form, light and material.
With almost 30 years of design experience, he has worked nationally and internationally on complex projects—from acute-care hospitals to behavioral healthcare centers—as well as mixed-use buildings, institutional campuses, commercial offices and hospitality interiors. Some of his key projects include Massachusetts General Hospital Cambridge Street, the American University in Beirut Academic Clinical Center, the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System Replacement Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic Miller Pavilion & Glickman Tower and multiple projects at Nationwide Children’s Hospital including a new behavioral health pavilion.
Edwin’s innovative work has received global recognition. He is a Fellow of the IIDA and has been named “Interior Designer of the Year” by Healthcare Design magazine. His work has received multiple AIA Honor and IIDA Design awards and been featured in Architectural Record, Healthcare Design, Interior Design, Metropolis, Fast Company and Modern Healthcare.
An active leader in the design community, Edwin has served as an adjunct faculty member at the Ohio State University, and as a guest critic for design reviews at the Catholic University of America, Illinois Institute of Technology, the University of Puerto Rico and the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. Edwin also served as a vice president of IIDA’s International Board of Directors and was a member of the IDCEC Board of Directors.
