Our Practice

With the ever-evolving nature of teaching and learning, the academic library has already undergone a great transformation by adapting to new paradigms present in higher education. The proliferation of digital resources and scholarship has meant that access to information is everywhere and even more critical in the current circumstances.

A|r was one of the first firms in the country to integrate full scale Building Information Modeling (BIM) project execution into our practice. Our team leverages BIM capabilities to create highly intelligent models, providing sophisticated visualizations which inform and optimize design, budget and schedules.

Our great waterways create a sense of place and connect us to the industrial heritage of our region. We have teamed with community stakeholders to build inviting civic spaces and bolster community engagement within these important spaces.

Parks are the place! The great role of parks and public spaces in advancing health, wellness and inclusion in our communities has become even more vital today.

Our cities may have gone quiet these past months, but this time of stillness is a mere nano-second in the lifetime of our great historic places.

Whether you are staying home, working from home, or providing essential services each day, we are all learning how to be together apart and how to be creative at home.
