Infill on the Cut, Detroit We are focused on ending systemic racism in the architecture and design profession while also taking decisive steps to address diversity, equity, and inclusion at Gensler. We are determined to be part of the solution as an ally, which is why we are taking action that creates opportunities for the Black community, BIPOC communities, and other underserved people. In 2020, Gensler created a strong foundation by establishing its Strategies to Fight Racism. The firm has since created its Global Race and Diversity Committee, launched a student design charrette with seven Historically Black Colleges and Universities, introduced Black Lives and Design research grants, and recruited and hired more Black professionals. These ongoing initiatives build upon our inclusive people-first philosophy and reinforce our unique firm culture. At Gensler, we are a constellation of stars and every voice counts. 2020-2021 Gensler Diversity Report In order to create equitable and inclusive places and spaces, we must first strive to build a firm from top to bottom with people that are representative of the diversity, authenticity, and local culture of the cities we help reimagine.
