Building Good

A Framework For Equity with Renee Cheng


Listen Later

The data on diversity is clear - firms with diverse talent and inclusive cultures come out ahead. Yet, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry lags on key performance indicators around diversity and inclusion. In this episode, Jen Hancock talks with Renee Cheng, the Dean of the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington. Renee was the lead researcher on the American Institute of Architects’ Guide for Equitable Practice, an excellent tool for any organization exploring how to improve its diversity and inclusion. An advocate for equity in the built environment, she explores what the building industry must do to remain relevant in a world where diversity and inclusion are more than just buzzwords in the boardroom.
