The 3 awards won by figure3 are:
Award of Excellence (Innovation in Workplace Design) – OMERS

“We’re excited to have won 3 VODA’s as it shows that figure3 creates much more than simply beautiful spaces, but also spaces designed with critical thought, empathy, and invention,” says Suzanne Bettencourt, Principal at figure3. “We’re so proud of our teams who worked so hard designing these spaces to positively influence how our clients do their business.”
