HNTB Corporation, one of the nation’s leading infrastructure solutions and program delivery firms, has hired Quon Chin, AIA, as principal transit architect and project director in its New York City office.
In his new role, Chin will be collaborating with the firm’s rail/transit leadership to pursue and deliver complex multidiscipline station and facility projects in the eastern United States.

Most recently, Chin served as design oversight manager on the Central Subway Project, which extends the Muni Metro T Third Line for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Prior to that, he was package manager for the 86th Street Station as part of MTA New York City Transit’s Second Avenue Subway project.
“Quon has tried and proven unique and effective methods for delivering value on design projects to public transit agencies,” said Tom Scerbo, AIA, vice president and architecture office leader, New York City. “We’re proud he’s joined our team in order to offer his expertise and lessons learned to our public transit clients in the northeast and across the nation.”
Chin earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Pratt Institute and completed the Pratt Architecture & Urban Design in Rome program in 1981. He is a registered architect in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Virginia and an active member of the American Institute of Architects.
