Change of that magnitude over a short period of time brings about lots of questions. What transformations are necessary to increase productivity, efficiency, sustainability and safety on sites? What should fuel this transformation? How should it be approached? At Pomerleau, the answer was FOX – the Foundation for Operational Excellence.

NYC’s Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation
While architecture can truly wow us, it also often fades into the background as we go about our lives. We stroll in and out of buildings all the time and we may not think much about how building design can influence our mood, and, if we spend a lot of time in one for work, our learning or even our health and well-being.
