About A/R Environetics Group
In 1947, Environetics Group was formed with the objective of investigating and creating new methods of design within the discipline of office planning. The firm gained notoriety for its progressive work with high-profile clients such as NASA, where it was retained to design an office complex for the Goddard Space Flight Center, and as design consultants for Sears Roebuck’s office tower in Chicago. Recognizing that traditional methods of designing offices would not be able to meet the advances in businesses systems and demands of increased world trade, the firm created a new methodology for interior space planning and design. In 1998, A/R Architects joined with Environetics in New York to create the A/R Environetics Group. For more information, visit www.arenvironetics.com.
