Marion Manley

Marion Manley (1893–1984) was a Florida architect, who was one of the designers of the University of Miami campus.

Her commissions included small Spanish-style houses in the 1920s, work on Miami's U.S. Post Office and Federal Building in the 1930s, with Robert Law Weed the masterplan for the Coral Gables campus of the University of Miami and its first large classroom building in the 1940s, many "tropical modern" houses, and the University of Miami's Ring Theater, the shell for the Asolo Theater at the Ringling Museum in the 1950s, and she continued through the 1960s and early 1970s to have numerous commissions. Manley laid the groundwork for today's women architects' acceptance in the still-male-dominated profession.
