We design environments that improve the way people and places work.
Progressive AE is a design-centered, research-guided, architectural and engineering firm in West Michigan with more than 150 full-time architects, designers, engineers, and planners. We’ve been providing innovative, sustainable, client-centered solutions for more than 50 years.
Our work is guided by a fundamental belief that environments should be strategic contributors, rather than static places; that they should give back in both human and business performance and make a measurable difference in the way people and places work.
With award-winning regional and national expertise in learning, workplace, healthcare, and more, we bring a powerful combination of agility, creativity, and strategic thinking to the design of the built environment.
Community Contributions
We care about people and the planet.
At Progressive AE we’ve long been committed to thinking outside the office. We provide time, talent, and financial support to a wide range of community organizations, and we return 10 percent of our pretax profits back to our community. Every year, the people of Progressive AE give their time to organizations that are meaningful to them—and we make sure they have the time to invest in what matters to them.
What’s more, we’re deeply committed to the sustainability of our communities. Sustainable design is embedded in everything we do—because doing what’s best for people, for the planet, and for our clients is something we believe in and a part of who we are.
Partnerships & Associations
We work well with others.
We often collaborate with other design firms, engineers, contractors, and municipalities—across the region and around the country. Whether we’re providing local insight for an out-of-town firm, lending specialized knowledge to other engineers, or working with area contractors in a design-build relationship—we work well with others.
We’re an easy, effective partner for a wide range of collaborators who rely on us to do good work, provide specific expertise, and maintain confidentiality. What’s more, we maintain close connections with professional organizations across our many disciplines—from architecture to design to engineering. Supporting our team members’ involvement in organizations that extend their experience is part of our longstanding commitment to continuous learning, exploring new ideas, and building knowledge across the industry.
