Sustainability

P+A has contributed expertise to a number of LEED, REAP, and Built Green projects, and is proficient with their assessment systems. P+A is experienced with sustainable landscape initiatives such as rainwater management, green roofs, urban agriculture, bio-filtration ponds and swales, and water-efficient landscapes. Our firm provides high quality design for new environments and communities as we continue to enrich and protect the places in which we live, work and play. We are committed to implementing and supporting sustainable and socially responsible actions that positively impact our shared surroundings and experiences.

Waste and energy reduction within the office are achieved through an active recycling program, use of reusable dishware and cutlery, a car co-op membership, and in-office bicycle storage. The majority of our staff bike, walk, or take public transit to work. Our strong social community is supported by the various planned events through the year, including our delicious potlucks. Staff members are involved with community gardens and various charities throughout the city. P+A also contributes annually to support the Ride to Conquer Cancer, the Union Gospel Mission, and Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
