Higher Education Architecture for the Future of Academia

We thrive on designing educational spaces that adapt to the paradigm shifts our clients are facing. Gone are conventional rules about when, where and how learning happens. Technology-driven, student-centered solutions have taken their place. Team-based learning and project-based learning have become the new normal. Academic institutions across the country are trying to keep up, while remaining true to their mission. We see the design of 21st century academic campuses and learning environments as a pivotal opportunity to respond to this changing educational landscape.

From Classroom to Campus to Community

We help make academic visions come to life through strategic facilities planning, the design of new classroom and laboratory buildings and renovations that modernize facilities. We work with diverse campus communities of many sizes, scales and cultures, including community and technical colleges, private institutions, regional comprehensive universities, flagship universities and Ivy League campuses. We first look to understand how the relationships between spaces foster community and teaching and learning goals. We then partner with our clients to develop responsive and inspiring design solutions that are fully integrated with the fabric of the campus and community.
