Specifically, over 800 passionate, creative, generous people who want to make our world a better place. That’s a lot of potential to create impact in our local communities.

We believe it’s not just corporate responsibility: it’s human responsibility. Want to know more about how we impact our communities? Read our 2019 Community Action Report. Begun in 2015, this grassroots, employee-initiated effort to enhance the social impact of our work has led to close collaboration with local organizations. HGA’s Community Action Program consists of four primary programs: Days of Service | Pro Bono Design Services | Design Workshops | Outreach Days of Service Hands-on, face-to-face volunteer days benefit local non-profits and community groups. By engaging in service work, we learn about and explore the social impact of physical environment while having fun as a team Pro Bono Design Services Throughout the year, HGA employees donate their time to local community organizations, helping at all phases of the design process. Non-profits benefit from our expertise, while professionals at HGA gain valuable experience in various project roles. Design Workshops It’s amazing what can be accomplished in a day. Intense design charrettes unite local groups in need of architecture, engineering, design, or marketing services with teams of HGA professionals for problem solving, brainstorming, and design.

Outreach Outreach creates connections across the community and generations, working with local schools and youth programs to encourage interest in the design of tomorrow's buildings and cities. Working with the architects, engineers and citizens of tomorrow, these formal and informal relationships are a chance for everyone involved to grow and learn from each other.
