NFOE Appoints Four New Partners

Founded in 1912, NFOE brings together more than 130 professionals across three offices in Quebec

NFOE announces the appointment of four new partners: Erika Landry, Vanessa Godin, Roxane Fortier, and Marie-Eve Cyr. NFOE has always counted women among its partners. Today, they are the majority: 8 out of 13. This reflects a culture that recognizes talent wherever it is found.

Founded in 1912, NFOE brings together more than 130 professionals across three offices in Quebec. The architecture firm has established itself as a reference for technically demanding projects in environments where rigour is not optional: pharmaceutical and biomedical laboratories, hospital complexes, scientific research institutes, and industrial and aerospace facilities.

These appointments will come as no surprise to those who follow NFOE’s practice. The four new partners have, for years, led some of the firm’s most technically demanding mandates: environments where design rigour, regulatory expertise, and the ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams are non-negotiable prerequisites.
