Morristown, NJ—NK Architects was named Corporate Citizen of the Year during the 2012 NJ BIZ Business of the Year annual awards dinner, held the evening of Monday, December 3 at The Palace in Somerset, New Jersey. These awards honor outstanding contributions to the New Jersey business community, recognizing an elite group of businesses and business leaders who have proven themselves as “the shining stars of New Jersey,” according to NJ BIZ. The panel of judges noted that “community service is tightly wrapped into the fabric of NK Architects. Its founders, who launched the firm in 1972, infused it with a spirit of compassion, generosity and community.” NK’s philanthropic efforts focus on what the firm sees as the four most fundamental

human needs: food, shelter, knowledge and care.
