We create educational environments that foster a life long love of learning Greg Otis - AIA: Education Team

Using expertise in educational design and a fresh approach to each project, we develop spaces that are conducive to learning at any level.

Expertise at Each Level

From elementary education to post graduate studies, our Team understands education. Having worked with clients from every level of learning, we've developed a broad perspective on user needs, as well as a thorough understanding of the impact space has on learning. Our knowledge of the whole picture, enables us to offer solutions that ultimately improve the methods with which our clients Educate.

Design for the User

We believe each client is unique. That's why we approach each project with open eyes, learning as much as we can about the culture and educational environment at the onset of the project. We also realize budgets are reality. GBBN is skilled at bridging the gap between dreams and reality, providing educators with the most advanced solutions that respond to their "culture of learning", yet remain cost effective.

Community Impact

In addition to creating functional educational spaces, we strive to create environments that are embraced by the communities in which they reside. How a building relates to adjacent buildings and its impact on the neighborhood are some of the community issues addressed during the project. Our exceptional ability to effectively build consensus among faculty, students, and neighborhood groups enhances the success of the overall project.
