How we design for birth is how we support life from the very beginning. This World Health Day, we’re reflecting on the theme “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures”—and how the spaces we shape can influence the earliest moments of life. Across North America—from Toronto, ON to Detroit, MI—we’re helping to redefine what birthing centers can be. These multi-phased projects are rooted in patient-centered care and designed to reflect cultural inclusion, privacy and comfort. From single-bed postpartum rooms to hospitality-inspired environments, every detail supports the vision for modern maternal and newborn care—built to support birth and recovery for patients and their families. Because healthy beginnings need medical care—and they need the right space. Learn more about the global effort to improve maternal and newborn health. https://lnkd.in/d8nVsj82 Frank Panici, Feby Kuriakose, Luke Le, Nicole L. M.

What’s next after the classroom? SAIT’s Architectural Technologies Student Association (ATSA) Industry Night offers students a glimpse into the future—one conversation at a time. As part of our NORRForward initiative, we believe in shaping the architectural industry by supporting the next generation of professionals. That commitment was reflected in the discussions we had with first and second-year students—curious, engaged and eager to learn what to expect as they step into the field. After more than 15 years of participation, our team continues to draw strong interest. These exchanges create meaningful career connections and spark lasting inspiration for what comes next. Take a look at a few moments from the event.

In fact, since 2006, only three engineers have received this distinction—including Hassan Saffarini, who was newly granted RAIC Honorary Membership. His recognition is not only well-earned but also a statement on the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in shaping the built environment—a value we’ve embraced at NORR for decades. Congratulations Hassan Saffarini and thanks for the recognition The Royal Architectural Institute Of Canada | L'Institut royal d'architecture du Canada. Read about his impact on architecture and engineering, and how this integrated model advances outcomes in the industry. https://lnkd.in/gudW_bqR #HonoraryMembership #IndustryRecognition #RAIC #Architecture #Engineering #NORR
