Lauren Foley

Intern

Architecture Student

Lauren rejoins BNA as an intern for the spring and summer of 2025, following the completion of her sophomore year in the architecture program at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. Her connection to BNA began as a senior at Masconomet Regional High School, when her growing passion for architecture led her to intern with the firm, contributing to renovation projects.

In 2024, she returned to BNA during the firm’s 40th Anniversary summer, managing special projects and supporting the team across various initiatives. Now entering her junior year at Wentworth, Lauren continues to build her architectural knowledge through hands-on design and office work at BNA, all while pursuing her master’s degree in architecture, expected in 2027.

Her time at BNA has provided valuable exposure to architectural practice—from collaborating with clients to visiting project sites—offering a firsthand look at the day-to-day life of an architect.

A longtime resident of Topsfield, Massachusetts, Lauren has lived in the community for 14 years. When she’s not studying or working, she enjoys skiing, beach walks with her dog Winnie, and spending time with family and friends.

“Other interns that I have spoken with agree with me that Ben was meant to be a mentor. The company provides guidance and freedom as I was given a design project the first two weeks into my internship. The internship program here at BNA is truly one of a kind and the appreciation I have towards the team is more than I can put into words.”
