Expect Discovery
Through a structured discovery process, we learn many things while working on the projects of our education clients. None more important than how to provide design solutions on-time and on-budget, best serving the needs of you and your constituents.
 

Discover more about your institution.

Your students, your faculty, your administration. When we design for our education clients, we need to have a firm grasp on the end-users — how they learn, teach, and work. Much like a faculty member who conducts research for a paper, we embark on a discovery process to uncover answers to design questions. We interview students, take surveys, and observe real-life situations whenever possible. Our published findings come in the form of buildable construction documents. The most detailed you’ll find anywhere, according to many contractors. They provide solutions based on your college’s or university’s specific needs, including a thorough budget and timeline.

Our clients include celebrated institutions such as the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, traditionally recognized by U.S. News & World Report as two of the best in the nation in several categories, and Westmoreland Community College in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Our work has included designs for new buildings, renovations and additions in nearly every corner of campus, from study lounges to steam plants.
