Natalie Shivers, a Princeton graduate alumna with 20 years of
experience in architecture, has been named to the new position of
associate University architect. Her appointment was effective Oct. 3.
She will work with University Architect Jon Hlafter to oversee the

Belle. She also will help with architect selection and design
coordination.
Since 2002, Shivers has been director of campus capital planning at the
University of California-Los Angeles. She has overseen the development
of strategic master plans and coordinated their implementation in the
design and construction of new buildings and renovation projects on the
historic 419-acre campus.
A graduate of Yale University, Shivers earned her master's degree in
architecture from Princeton in 1984. She worked as a project architect
for two Los Angeles-area firms between 1985 and 1990.
For the next decade, she held positions at three entertainment
corporations -- Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, the Turner
Entertainment Group in Atlanta and 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles --
where she oversaw construction and rehabilitation projects at the
studios. She also spent two years as an architect/project director for
the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C.
Shivers has served as an exhibition and catalog text editor for several
architectural exhibitions at major museums around the country. She is
the co-author of "L.A.'s Early Moderns: Art, Architecture, Photography"
(Balcony Press, 2003).
