An Important COVID-19 Update

In this unprecedented time A|r is taking every measure to protect our team, families, colleagues, and community.

We have closed our physical offices, suspended staff travel and shifted to remote working arrangements. Thanks to years of off-site work experience and a strong technology infrastructure we are able to provide uninterrupted services for our clients.

You can continue to reach us the same ways as before. Our main line will continue to operate, as messages will be relayed to the appropriate person. If you have an alternate means to reach us, such as cell phone or email, please continue to use it.

We believe everyone’s contribution is needed right now, and in our small way, A|r is behind the scenes assisting our healthcare clients to prepare additional emergency response facilities. It’s the least we can do for those on the front lines.

Our best wishes to all the dedicated professionals providing these essential, and in many cases life-saving, services. Let us all remember to do our part to slow the spread of COVID 19, as citizens and as a community, adhering to safety procedures and caring for our most vulnerable.

We encourage everyone to stay active, stay connected, and to look after your own mental as well as physical health. Go for a walk, read a poem, and welcome the little birdies back north. It’s springtime!

Making Place

There is no placemaking without people. As we move together toward a post-covid era, what new factors will impact our sense of place? The tools of placemaking were important before, and now they are crucial to how we experience our environment.

Universal Design for Public Comfort Stations

We strive to design for all at every level of the built environment. We are looking beyond Gender Neutral design to Universally designed bathrooms, or comfort stations – conceived to be accessible to all people, regardless of gender expression, age, ability, belief, and social structure.

Flex Classrooms

We know that a learning experience has as much to do with our environment as it does the teachers and students that create those experiences. After the past year, we have all gained a profound appreciation of how important these are to foster development and ignite a love for learning.
