Here Is What Some of Our Clients Had to Say About Our Building to Thrive ™ Course:

Since we did a façade reno at our property, we have seen an improvement in safety around the building with less incidents occurring – we no longer have graffiti and loitering around the building has become less of a concern.

  • Supporting your clients' well-being and the surrounding community is not top of mind
  • You don’t want to retain your tenants
  • How your buildings impact the mental and physical well-being of residents isn’t a priority
  • You don’t care about getting clarity and awareness on how to positively support your clients physiologically in your buildings.
  • You don’t want to create a plan to implement these design upgrades through the renovation process.

Meet Cynthia, the Heart Behind AVID

Cynthia Dovell is an award-winning architect, Chair of the Alberta Chapter of the RAIC, and founder of AVID Architecture. She experienced the difference that a safe living environment can make in your life when she attended the University of Toronto.
