Medical Campus Planning
We recognize that a thriving and transformative community necessitates access to top-notch medical facilities. We firmly believe that planning medical campuses is a crucial aspect of ensuring equitable resources for all communities. In order to meet the diverse needs of healthcare environments, it is essential to assemble interdisciplinary teams capable of addressing a wide range of campus spaces and organizational objectives.
At Browning Day, we provide valuable insights and expertise to plan an efficient and sustainable medical campus that a community requires.
Innovation District Planning
Community and public entities are responsible for owning land with the purpose of attracting major developments for advanced mixed-use projects within the state.
Placemaking principles and our attention to planning nuances are at the core of creating innovative districts that prioritize the quality of life for the individuals and communities they serve.
It is also critical to attracting the high-skill and highwage business sectors the government entities are seeking to propel communities forward.
We partner at a systems-level, which both consolidates and integrates infrastructural elements such as storm water systems, public green space, and multi-modal transportation networks into a unified, well-designed “public realm,” which will ensure increased sustainability and a high quality of life regardless of location or land-use.

Urban Planning & Design
Urban planning and design encompass a comprehensive process, discipline, and strategy that involves integrating existing urban areas while also incorporating new ideas and solutions to enhance a given region. It entails careful consideration of various factors such as infrastructure, land use, transportation, sustainability, and community needs to create well-designed and functional urban spaces.
The main objective for our team is to be an innovative partner, to define the needs of a community and create the most effective and efficient solutions to transform a region.
Faith-Based Vision Planning
We understand the type of service and commitment faithbased organizations make to the community. Decisions throughout a project includes the community and are for the community.
Conscious and empathetic planning for faith-based organizations requires in-depth communication and partnership between the architect and the community being served.
