Does Architecture Affect Your Quality of Life?
July 16, 2019

You probably spend most of your day in or around buildings. But have you considered how these buildings are actively affecting your quality of life?

Is Natural Light Really That Important?
May 29, 2019

Businesses aren’t the only ones benefiting from natural light. Colleges & universities are seeing increased performance when designing with natural light.

How School Architecture Affects K12 Student Productivity
May 23, 2019

When thinking about ways to improve student & staff productivity in a school, could there be a layer that isn’t as apparent?

Can Timber Make a Comeback?
May 15, 2019

Wood might just turn out to be the building material of choice in the future. And that has us pondering “what if.” Of course, timber has been around for a long time. But with recent advancements in materials, it now has potential for a comeback!

One of the aspects of CMBA that I greatly appreciate is that they clearly understand the significance of having their name associated with a project. Of course that means quality professional design, but it also means service delivery throughout the construction cycle and, most significantly, afterwards.
