Our passionate architects utilize a design charrette process to develop solutions. The charrette is an intensive effort intended to translate the ideas and goals of the planning team into plans, diagrams, and other design criteria that will serve as the basis for project development. All options emphasize safety and security, innovative and flexible learning environments, sustainability, and cost-efficiency and are based on the consensus of the district stakeholders.
Our planning team examines educational needs, growth capacity, current infrastructure, learning environment, safety, accessibility, curricular enhancement, technology, community areas, site traffic flow, and space needs for special education offerings and provides recommendations in the form of a roadmap for implementing improvements.
Our architects partner with Educational Planners with decades of experience in public education. They work hand in hand with our clients to define programming needs and explore creative solutions. All program needs are identified and established, and administrators are given the opportunity to discuss how the facility affects and responds to their current and desired programs.
Our architects and collaborative team partners listen and attend interactive meetings with leadership and user groups to understand and identify program needs and priorities. We work closely with our clients on developing a space program and the educational adequacy of design solutions and provide feedback.
Our process begins with educational consultants reviewing programming and facility needs and is complemented by our team of architects and collaborative design-build partners who evaluate building systems, components, and deferred maintenance. We work with our clients to review facility conditions and provide recommendations.
Our talented architectural team includes interior designers with decades of experience with K-12 schools. They utilize a student-first philosophy to plan superior interior solutions for our clients. They work collaboratively with our team and clients to determine building needs, including interior materials, finishes, and equipment.
