01

Immerse

We immerse ourselves in your university and community through site audits, focus group discussions, and workshops. This phase is all about digging deeper to guarantee a human-centric approach and a strong sense of place.

Looking through the lens of your community and university and their combined values, we develop a comprehensive master plan that includes our initial cost estimates.

04

Empower

We create a constructive, barrier-free environment where you’re encouraged to share your ideas and co-design your facility so it resonates with your academic and cultural dynamics and budget.

05

Create

We polish the design and then work closely with the construction teams to bring your university to life, handling any challenges along the way with a positive attitude.
