EXPLORE Design & Architecture with Gensler

Gensler is a global architecture, design, and planning firm with 52 locations across Asia, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and the Americas. Founded in 1965, the firm serves as trusted advisors to 3,500 active clients in virtually every industry. Guided by determined optimism, we believe the power of design can spark positive change and create a future that promotes equity, resilience, and wellbeing for everyone.
Our matches are invited to Gensler’s office in downtown Minneapolis to learn about their work as an architecture firm, the steps involved in the design process, and a chance to lead an interactive project designing a local Minneapolis Site.
Gensler will also provide an Office Tour and look at their creative spaces, a meal for the evening, and ample time for any questions from Mentors and Littles.
Hope to have you join us for a fun evening of learning and designing !
