3. Opportunities for Equity in Design

“As architects, we are civic stewards in charge of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public with our built environment. We should be designing and building equitable spaces for all, for the communities we live in, and minimizing the systematic racism that exists in our nation,” says Senior Associate Leon Holloway, LEED AP BD+C. Here is how we’re finding new ways to advocate for access to education, fair housing, and public policies.
