EVERY ASPECT
Spring 2026 Edition
It’s been a busy and exciting start to the year at ASPECT. Across our offices and projects, there’s been a strong sense of momentum, not just in the work itself, but in how our teams are coming together around it. While ASPECT continues to evolve, how we approach our work, how we collaborate, and how we show up for our clients and partners remains a consistent strength and focus. We’ve been intentional about bolstering our alignment across our teams, ensuring our clients experience the same level of technical excellence and pragmatism that sets ASPECT apart.
As we reintroduce an electronic newsletter, our goal is simple: to share the work we’re doing, the people behind it, and the thinking that drives it. You’ll see that reflected in this edition. From strengthening our presence in the Toronto market with the addition of James Cranford, to engaging with industry partners at the International Mass Timber Conference, to delivering complex and highly expressive projects like the David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University and advancing industry conversations through initiatives like the Tallwood Feasibility Study, each story speaks to a shared focus on thoughtful execution and meaningful impact.
