We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the University of Vermont New Research Laboratory Project & Given Building Renovation in partnership with Black River Design. The renovation/addition will provide modern research and office space to accommodate both the Larner College faculty and the Psychology Department faculty which conducts renowned research that improves the health and healthcare of the citizens of Vermont, our nation and the world.

We look forward to working the University of Vermont on designing a modern, flexible and collaborative research space for the University to recruit and retain the best scientists and grow their world-class research.
Sandrine Héroux, Sophie McKenzie, and Emily Chowdhury are each members of our in-house Fabrication team. Their day-to-day work centers on a simple question: what changes when design becomes something people can physically test?
These women challenge the notion of fabrication as a support service, framing it instead as an essential component of architectural authorship, a way to test ideas, share agency, and widen the boundaries of what architectural practice can include.
In our most recent blog, they discuss their individual paths in architecture and reflect on their experience using fabrication as a tool for fostering shared agency, community engagement and broadening the role of the architect. Link in bio!
