  • The quality of an educational system has a generational affect on the economic sustainability and quality of life in our communities. Our goal is to develop spaces that ignite the imagination and inspire a life-long love of learning.

    Expertise at Each Level

    From primary education in our urban core to graduate studies on college campuses, our experts understand the impact space has on learning. Having worked with clients from every level of education, we've developed a broad perspective on user needs, which enables us to develop solutions unique to every curriculum style.

    Learning Outside the Classroom

     The average post-secondary student spends about 20% of their school-week in a dedicated academic space. We believe that the balance of student-life is spent supporting the academic, emotional, social, and recreational development of the “whole” student. We design campus environments that promote an integration of uses, encourage serendipitous encounters, and ultimately reflect the nature of student life.

    Community Impact

     Schools are community landmarks and should be embraced by their communities. Our designs relate and integrate into their context and instill a sense of pride. We work hard to build consensus among students, their families, administrators, and their staff to ensure that student performance is increased and facilities last for generations.

    • I wanted to compliment you folks on what a spectacular space. It’s just wonderful. Lots of student activity here…. … the furnishing are working so well w/ the building. Good job! It’s a major home run… I think there is something here that GBBN can certainly be proud of.

    • The renovation of our Arena ranks as one of the best investments this University has ever made. Our fans now have access to one of the truly great NCAA basketball venues in the country.

    • This morning, following a student assembly where I heard all the girls singing their school song with a lot of spirit, I looked around, it was impressive to see the attractive appearance of the facility. Thank you for a great job on the Classroom Buildings, as well as the Gym/Convocation Center.
