What’s your favorite DIALOG project?
The Calgary Cancer Centre project is my favorite DIALOG project I have worked on. The building design promotes healing by incorporating natural light, calming spaces, and efficient layouts, providing a positive environment aiding in patient recovery and reduced stress.
What’s the one thing you want to redesign every time you see or use it?
Public washrooms. There is usually always something to improve with the layout.
What is your favorite DIALOG initiative?
The Milestones event. Being able to celebrate these achievements creates a positive workplace culture, motivating employees and reinforcing a sense of accomplishment!
