An interview with longtime Collegetown architect Jagat Sharma

When an architect has been in the business for 50 years, including 35 running their own practice, it’s fair to say that they probably have a few projects they can show to family and friends. A building here, a building there, one in the next city over.

Then there’s Jagat Sharma. If you stand in the middle of the intersection of College Avenue and Dryden Road, you can see no less than seven of his designs. Since hanging his shingle in Ithaca back in 1981, Sharma has worked on more than 20 projects in Collegetown alone, with at least two more in the works. Add in his other works around the city and region, and you have a very busy studio.
