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.

"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
