Designing the Student Experience
We design spaces that enhance the student connection to the campus environment. Partnering with our clients in the creation of student-focused spaces is what drives us. Our architects, engineers, and planners lead a thoughtful and deliberate design process inclusive of all campus populations that strives to create transformational experiences.
College enrollment and retention rates are continuously changing. Whether trying to do more with less or one-up the benchmark, our design team will align your scope and budget through an inquisitive and data-based programming process.
We set the standard for technology integration and innovative solutions. Expect us to provide ideas for interactive technology, artificial intelligence, and spaces that seamlessly interface with student and faculty devices.
Our integrated team of architects and engineers are passionate about finding the sustainability solutions that best serve your campus. From passive haus, to net-zero, to mass timber, we bring the expertise needed to meet our client’s sustainability goals.
