George Eisenberger, AIA, LEED AP is the firm’s Director of Technical Services and a cornerstone of project delivery at Winstanley Architects & Planners. With nearly four decades of experience in architecture, documentation, and construction administration, George brings unmatched technical depth, disciplined leadership, and an unwavering commitment to quality that underpins the firm’s most challenging commissions.
In his role, George oversees technical compliance, building-systems integration, specification writing, and firm-wide risk-management protocols. He develops and enforces rigorous quality-control standards, ensuring every drawing set meets evolving codes, performance benchmarks, and client expectations. His encyclopedic command of assemblies, materials, and delivery methods makes him the first call for colleagues and consultants seeking clear strategies for constructability and cost control. Equally important, George mentors emerging staff, translating decades of field experience into daily lessons that elevate the entire studio’s technical acumen.
That expertise anchors a portfolio of complex, high-profile projects. George is the technical lead for the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial on the National Mall, coordinating structural, life-safety, and preservation requirements for a site destined to receive millions of visitors annually.
As Architect of Record for Union Station, he has shepherded infrastructure upgrades, accessibility improvements, and historic-fabric restorations within one of the nation’s busiest transport hubs. He guided the delivery of the Old Dominion Boat Club in Alexandria, balancing contemporary waterfront design with stringent historic-district scrutiny. Earlier, George managed the modernization of Hangar 110 at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, integrating advanced fire-suppression and anti-corrosion systems within a federally regulated aviation facility. On the private side, he directed documentation for Eilan, a million-square-foot mixed-use destination in San Antonio. He likewise oversaw the comprehensive renovation of Mullins Hall at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, updating a 350-bed residence hall while honoring James Gamble Rogers’ original design.
George is a Registered Architect in four jurisdictions, a LEED Accredited Professional, and a long-standing member of the American Institute of Architects. He began his career at international design firms in New York before establishing himself in Washington, DC. At Winstanley, George serves as the firm’s technical conscience and stabilizing force, ensuring that design excellence is matched by executional precision.
