HIGHER EDUCATION

As higher education clients continue to have competing priorities such as tight budgets, shifting educational models, and rapidly evolving technology, we work with clients to understand how these priorities can be balanced to keep the integrity of the design and maximize value. We have completed a wide variety of projects on over 90 campuses across the U.S. including $150 Million academic campuses to 500 sf ADA renovations. Our depth of experience has given us unparalleled insight into the challenges faced by higher education clients and provides us the opportunity to support clients to discover new academic solutions.
