On Feb 8, 2023

DIGroup Architecture has added several accolades to its architecture, interior design and environmental-graphic resume, including the American Institute of Architects-New Jersey Chapter (AIA-NJ) “Firm of the Year” Award for 2022, the New Brunswick and Philadelphia-based firm announced.

“It’s humbling to be recognized by industry leaders and peers for our efforts,” said Vincent Myers, president, who garnered recognition as an industry and DBE “power player,” a distinction held for organizations committed to making a positive impact on the communities in which they serve.

“Every day, we make a concerted, purposeful effort to make a difference and to put our values to work in a very real and tangible way,” he said. “To be recognized for those efforts validates that we are doing the right thing, for a common purpose and in communities that have traditionally been underserved.”

  President Vincent Myers was named a “DBE Power Player” by American DBE, which highlights organizations committed to giving back to the communities in which they serve
• DIG Project Manager LoriAnne Jones was named among New York Real Estate’s “Ones to Watch” in commercial real estate, highlighted for her 10+ year relationship with Urban Health Plan and other Federal Qualified Health Centers, as well as the legacy of service on both sides of her family
