Institutional Buildings

It’s critical for institutions to understand the cost, schedule, and quality of a design before investing in a new capital project. We provide building assessments, surveys, and needs assessments for large institutions to help inform their project programming, visioning, and documentation. Throughout the process, we continue to build on the assessment data to define the program, vision, and design documentation. Working  with strategists, engineers, and cost consultants, we provide a fully coordinated design consultancy.
