Sustainable Stewardship: Preserving Special Places
NAKITA REED
One of the things that I love about Quinn Evans is our ability to combine historic preservation with sustainable design, and really embrace the idea that things can be both/and. We don't have to operate in an either/or, or choose making it historic over making it sustainable. Because we really understand the overlap and how things work together.
PATTI BABIN
We are innovators. We really take care in looking at historic properties, historic buildings, historic landscapes, putting in different people's perspectives, bringing out stories that aren't always told.
JENNA BARROW
There's never a time where we're not thinking about sustainability. We strive for that to be motivation for us. When we know we're giving something back to our planet or our communities, it's worth that conversation to have.
CHARLES SPARKMAN
Quinn Evans is uniquely positioned to steward existing places. Our core mission is to make sure that those spaces endure for the future.
MAUREEN VOSMEK
That kind of reinvestment in the community is also helping. Those ripple effects of preservation move out into the community.

It's also great to be able to have a platform to help people understand that adaptive reuse, climate change, sustainability—they're all connected. And so, being able to use our expertise and share with the profession how they can also do a lot of the work that we're doing because we're not going to build our way to net zero. We absolutely have to reuse what we already have that's here and really make an impact on the communities that we're trying to serve.

We are Quinn Evans!
