ANNOUNCING OUR BOLD NEW FUTURE: Progressive AE is now Progressive Companies! We are designers of a bold new future, creating high-performance structures and pathways that deliver what clients need today and preparing them for what’s to come. Removing AE from our name offers greater flexibility as the firm continues to diversify beyond architecture and engineering. In addition to the name change, the new identity is bold in every way–colors, fonts, patterns, imagery, and language. It signifies courage, strength, and the ability to leave a mark through Performance Based Design solutions, a commitment to sustainable and inclusive design, and a company culture built on diversity, leadership, learning, and trust. While we are so excited to unveil our new logomark, vivid color palette, and a modern new website, our creative and collaborative team of employees and the trust we have built with our clients and communities will stay the same. Let’s take a big step forward—together! Visit www.weareprogressive.com to learn more.

We are so excited to be working alongside Grand Rapids Community College to transform the downtown Learning Resource Center! "The updated Learning Resource Center will cater to the hybrid way that most students take GRCC classes by having a mix of individual spaces with Zoom rooms and collaborative spaces for group work, as well as private or quiet study areas. In addition to library operations, the Learning Resource Center will also house GRCC’s counseling services, disability support services and the Woodrick Center for Inclusion and Multicultural Affairs. A two-story addition for the Learning Resource Center will house a television studio and commuter cafe. Universal and ADA design improvements will also be added throughout the building." #librarydesign #libraryofthefuture #learningresourcecenter #architecture #design #engineering #landscapearchitecture #interiordesign #educationdesign #universaldesign #inclusivedesign #GrandRapidsMI

Hard to believe that summer is flying by so fast! We only have two more weeks with our structural intern Jia before she heads back to school. She's been knocking it out of the park as she progresses through our Structural Pathway program and works with our team on a variety of projects here at Progressive Companies! Glad to have had the chance to help in her mentorship this summer and show off some of our work - like the nearly complete Adelaide Pointe Mixed Use building which is looking awesome. Reach out if you know of anyone who might be interested in joining our internship program for next summer!

In Michigan, we are blessed to be surrounded by the Great Lakes, along with thousands of inland lakes to enjoy. In honor of July being National Lakes Appreciation Month, we would like to shoutout our dedicated team of Water Resources professionals, who work tirelessly to conserve these precious resources through aquatic vegetation surveys, lake and watershed management plans, wetland delineation, and more.

"In Universal Design, Light Reflectance Value (LRV) plays an essential role in enhancing the safety and independence of individuals with vision impairments," writes architect Cloudiya Ochoa, AIA. "By selecting colors with higher LRV values (>55), designers can improve the overall visibility and readability of elements within a space." Learn more about LRV below, and reach out to our Universal Design experts at https://lnkd.in/e7TtvQ8C for more information! #universaldesign #accessibledesign #inclusivedesign #DEI #diversityequityinclusion #lightreflectancevalue #interiordesign #architecture
What is LRV and How Do We Use it to Design Accessible Spaces?
