About this episode
Gary Mottershead speaks with Adrian Conrad about the intersection of vision, innovation, and sustainability in building design.
Vision, innovation, and sustainability come together in Gary Mottershead's conversation with Adrian Conrad, CEO of the Cora Group. From the inspiration behind evolv1, Canada’s first zero carbon design certified building, to the changing role of office space in a hybrid world, Adrian offers a thoughtful look at how developers can build for both performance and impact. Their discussion touches on the future of Waterloo Region, the importance of creating spaces people want to use, and the bigger opportunity to see buildings not as part of the problem, but as part of the solution.
