Cryer III

John Cryer, the retired CEO of Page, has over four decades of experience developing and managing large architectural teams that specialize in complex and unique building types. He earned a bachelor of architecture degree from Louisiana State University. John joined Caudill Rowlett Scott (CRS) of Houston shortly after graduating from LSU.

While at CRS, he managed such complex projects as the Chrysler Technology Center, the 3M Electronics Group, and the Superconducting Super Collider. In 1993, John joined the board of Page Southerland Page, now Page, as an owner and senior principal. He transformed the Houston operation through recruitment and specialization into a major architecture and engineering practice.

Under his leadership and in collaboration with the City of Houston, he transformed the downtown area. He was instrumental in the repair and recovery of the Baylor and M.D. Anderson medical facilities after historic flooding, and then applied the knowledge gained there to help the UT Medical Center, Galveston, after Hurricane Ike. He led the firm in extensive work in Ghana. His work with the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design at the University of Houston is notable. He created a new interdisciplinary and interactive course there.
