At INFORM we work to Inspire  Impact, and we believe in rolling up our sleeves and volunteering in our communities. On Friday, INFORMers volunteered at Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan and helped pack over 20,000 meals that will go directly to people's homes and tables. About Gleaners: Headquartered in Detroit, Gleaners serves five Southeast Michigan counties: Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe. Gleaners provides food to nearly 400 partner soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, schools and other agencies across the region, and supplements the efforts of those partners by offering direct service drive-up grocery distributions. Gleaners further empowers households with food programs and education to help overcome food insecurity. Every dollar donated provides three meals, and 92 percent of our expenses directly support our neighbors facing hunger. #INFORMStudio #InspireandImpact #Gleanersfoodbank

This past weekend marked the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere! ☀️ Check out this beautiful summer sunset video of the Van Leesten Memorial Bridge (Providence, RI) by Providence resident Josh D . This video clearly exemplifies our purpose to “Inspire & Impact. Michael S. Van Leesten Memorial Bridge (named after civil rights advocate, community leader and lifelong Providence resident; MIchael S. Van Leesten) was designed to act as a pedestrian center that not only performed as a practical connector between regions, but also a strategy to encourage community connection and social engagement. Allowing east and west of Rhode Island to become a singular, public space. While the history of this area will remain embedded in Van Leesten Memorial Bridge, we’re excited to see the continuing lease of life it’s providing for current and future generations. #INFORMStudio #DesignForChange #InspireAndImpact #MichaelVanLeesten #Providence #Placemaking

As we approach the June 30th anniversary of the Ann Arbor District Library - Traverwood Branch, we reflect on its significance for our firm. This project, completed in 2008, was a cornerstone in expanding the AADL system and it serves as a vital community center for northeast Ann Arbor. Located near the Sapp Nature Area, the library’s design prioritized environmental sustainability and featured innovative use of reclaimed Ash wood. This landmark project not only supported the community but also our commitment to sustainable and community-focused architecture. #INFORMStudio #DesignForChange #Architecture #AnnArbor #AADL #TraverwoodLibrary #Sustainability #Design #Community #SustainableDesign
