Outreach When it comes to environmental and social initiatives, we believe action is the antidote to apathy.
3form works hard to create a culture of sustainability internally, with its over 400 employees, as well as externally. We do this through our everyday focus on our environmental goals, but also by continually striving to learn, contribute, and be inspired by others. DesignBuildBluff Each year at the University of Utah, the DesignBuildBluff program gives graduate students of architecture the opportunity to move from representation to reality by challenging them to harmonize an actual client’s needs with architectural purpose. Whenever possible and practical, it employs natural building methods and non-traditional materials to create unique structures that combine a sense of doing good with designs appropriate for the task at hand. 3form is proud to donate materials each year in addition to 10% of all reclaim revenue.

Swaner Nature Preserve - Park City Increased development pressures outside of Park City make the 1200-acre Swaner Nature Preserve critical for the conservation and restoration of the sensitive high altitude wet meadow. Established in 1993, Swaner’s mission has been to preserve, educate, and nurture not only the land, but also our human connection to it. The building of a new 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art Nature Education Center will greatly enhance its ability to fulfill that mission. The center is one of only 2 LEED Platinum certified buildings in Utah. Platinum is the highest LEED rating offered by the U.S. Green Building Council. 3form donated a significant amount of material that is used throughout the building.
