These honors have been awarded by our peers and/or organizations representing the users of our buildings. We are pleased to receive this kind of recognition and continually strive to provide the highest level of professional service.

Conferences

The staff at French Associates attends seminars and conferences throughout the year in an effort to stay informed of current issues and trends.  Through the participation of our staff members at industry related conferences, it provides an educational opportunity as well as an introduction of French Associates and its services to current and/or prospective clients. Just as important, it gives the audience the chance to ask direct questions relative to their own circumstances.  A valuable exchange of information and ideas takes place – an exchange that can result in creative solutions and improved designs for our clients.

Our sponsorships extend beyond formal organizations and go directly into the classrooms. Our staff participates in Career Day activities that involve sharing architecture with students who have indicated a career interest in the design field. Students are also invited to job shadow with our staff from time to time. A student comes into the office and works alongside one of our staff to get a first-hand look at day-to-day activities inside an architectural firm.
