Designing and planning to safeguard students, faculty and staff

As parents, students, faculty and the community are demanding more of our schools, today’s educational systems must adapt to include cutting-edge technology, systems, resources and environment. Architects supporting local governments, colleges and universities must align design with necessary education safety elements to protect against risk, fires, active shooters and other hazards.
From constructing a new school or designing a dormitory to planning for unique on-site events, we help you navigate code and standard compliance in all phases of design, construction and occupancy. Our team can also design fire protection, fire alarm and security systems; provide inspection and testing; facilitate live and web-based safety training; prepare emergency master plans and conduct fire and other emergency drills. We also offer property conditions assessments for building systems, progressive failure analysis and remediation plans for aging construction.
