Education

We set standards, design systems, and optimize the performance of learning environments from early years to executive education.

Academic facilities are long-term investments. They need to both meet the needs of today and be resilient, adaptable, and scalable to respond to changes in technology, teaching methods, and climate.

Inspiring Young Minds
Our projects embrace and embody the values of the institutions they serve. They are an educational resource in their own right, inspiring the next generation with exemplars of energy and water efficiency, innovative integrated systems, 
and features to improve health, well-being, and cognitive performance.

Decarbonizing Campuses
We guide institutions on their path towards net zero emissions. We develop decarbonization roadmaps, audit and optimize existing assets, transition campus utilities to all-electric operation, integrate renewable energy generation and storage, and design and commission energy-saving building systems.

Resilient by Design
Harnessing the power of design analytics, we work with project design teams to optimize the form, massing, orientation, and skin of new educational buildings so that they can face extremes of climate with confidence today and for years to come.
