What was your most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2019?
In 2019 SWBR celebrated our 50th year in business and a long tradition of design excellence. To commemorate the milestone, we celebrated with staff and clients, and hosted a special initiative called “50 for 50” where team members collectively completed 50 community service projects throughout the year. As team members volunteered for various organizations we highlighted the efforts and shared the results on social media. For 50 years we have designed projects on the belief that great buildings and spaces can inspire, influence and enhance the lives of their users and the community and we spent 2019 celebrating that belief. The campaign was so successful we will be continuing in 2020.
