Environmental Design Students Visit Leading Design Firm
With more than 3,500 active clients, Gensler works with clients from across the globe—large, small, private, public, for-profit, non-profit. The leading firm offers high-quality services in architecture, brand design, consulting, real-estate, digital experience design, interior design, sustainability, and urban strategies and design.
And because the firm’s main office is located in downtown San Francisco, students in our recent College of Environmental Design Global Access Program (CED GAP) cohort had the wonderful opportunity to visit this world-class firm. Not only did they get to see the topics they learn about translated into real-world projects, but our students had the chance to hear and learn from leading professionals.
