Jocelyn Corrigan Featured in Building Enclosure

We’re proud to share that our Chief Operating Officer, Jocelyn Corrigan, has been featured in Building Enclosure magazine in an article titled “Workplace Design and Mentorship in AEC from a Female Perspective.”

 

In the feature, Jocelyn reflects on her career journey within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry and offers thoughtful insight into how workplace design and mentorship intersect to shape both people and performance.

 

Drawing from more than two decades of experience, Jocelyn shares how her path — rooted in commercial interiors — evolved into strategic leadership through collaboration with architects, designers, developers, and corporate clients. She speaks to the powerful role that well-designed environments play in influencing culture, productivity, and connection within organizations.

 

A central theme of the article is mentorship. Jocelyn discusses the importance of early advocates who helped shape her leadership approach and emphasizes her commitment to creating opportunities for the next generation of women in the industry. She underscores that meaningful progress requires more than recognition during Women’s History Month — it calls for intentional, year-round mentorship, visibility, and advocacy.

 

Her advice to young professionals entering AEC is both practical and inspiring: stay curious, build strong relationships, embrace every learning opportunity, and remain adaptable in an ever-evolving industry.

 

We’re honored to see Jocelyn’s perspective highlighted and to contribute to the ongoing conversation about leadership, equity, and the future of workplace design.
