More placemaking. More places.

Charlotte Boulder | DenverCOOPER CARRY’S MIXED-USE ECOSYSTEM
Ecosystems bring many diverse contributors together to create something far beyond the capacity of one. They create and capture new and greater value. At Cooper Carry, we approach our work as a collaborative ecosystem. We have multiple studios and services that mix and match daily to provide each project the depth of expertise it needs to meet business objectives. Our breadth of experience goes far beyond broad building types. We offer a deeper level of expertise, engaging in more possibilities and offering more creative solutions. The mixed-use ecosystem allows us to help our clients create the platform on which tenants and target audiences can flourish.
PRE K-12 EDUCATION
We believe in honoring and empowering children and their advocates by designing environments that celebrate learning and foster growth.
Cooper Carry’s Education Studio believes that schools should inspire children, educators, and the public at large. By boosting the quality of the educational experience through excellent design, we achieve seamless functionality, resulting in the most positive influences over the learning environment. Through our experience working with public and independent schools we have developed a proven collaborative design process clearly focused on understanding and articulating the goals and visions of a school, its stakeholders and most importantly, the teachers who teach and students who learn.
