SELECT PROJECTS

Our approach focuses on providing innovative solution-based design services with the knowledge that educational facility design is focused on the student/educator experience as well as facilitating administration and operational needs. We create learning environments and spaces for supporting services that are enjoyable and inspirational to users and suit their purposes. Project metrics of scope, budget, and schedule accountability are of central importance for services for education projects, in addition to effective technical project delivery. We center our efforts on quality design, functionality, regulatory guidelines, critical schedules, cost effectiveness, best practices, sustainability, and adaptability.

Modernization, renovation, new construction, and master planning architectural services include projects of all sizes for independent and public entities.
