we provide ingenious solutions for intellectual spaces
Change is inevitable. For higher education administrators, creating environments that adapt to continuously evolving needs is both a challenge and a requirement. For students, networks of interaction, scaled from the individual to the collective, are essential. For campuses, resiliency and environmental stewardship are increasingly crucial.
We embrace this complexity of demands, fusing convergent learning and dynamic research into inspirational settings. Our award-winning projects for higher education institutions across the country seamlessly knit together the disciplines of architecture and engineering. This philosophy has enabled us to craft innovative building designs that house complex programs and sophisticated systems solutions.
clients
Our academic clients come from all over the United States and include large, R1 institutions as well as small liberal arts schools.
"We measure the success of an academic building by how it contributes to the overall campus, how it meets current programming needs while providing flexibility for the future, how it establishes an appropriate architectural identity for its occupants, and how it fosters an environment of collaboration.”
