Affordable, efficient sustainable elementsSome projects will pursue LEED certification; others will not. Regardless,
we make it a priority for each project to integrate sustainable and
energy-efficient solutions. Energy costs are still on the rise; we can help
you capitalize on all opportunities for energy and cost savings.

Nearly one out of every two schools is updating its campus master plan
Master plans play a vital role in the strategic growth of the campus,
in maintaining positive community interaction and tapping into new
funding sources in an increasingly competitive environment. These
plans are a valuable tool for marketing and fund raising. Donors are
much more willing to invest in something that’s tangible.
We have the tools and experience to help you plan for the future,
and can take an active roll in master planning and facility needs
assessments.
