The university’s libraries were unified into the first joint Business and Law Library in the country. Result The strategic solution consolidated three master plan phases, avoiding $23 million of projected capital expenditures and generating $1.25 million in annual lease income from vacated space.

Both unit types consisted of single bedrooms. If groups chose the 2-bedroom unit, they used 25 Slugs towards the unit. Using your remaining Slugs, groups then were instructed to trade for features to add to the unit.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS Jeff Maggioncalda, Founding CEO and President, Financial Engines MKThink did an outstanding job across the board—the process, exploration, input, creativity, planning, and counsel were superb. The space is performing well, and I’m fascinated to see how people are using it and reacting to it.
Larry Kramer, Former Dean, Stanford Law School Over the course of the first year, students and faculty began to discover and use the new spaces. By year’s end—light speed if you think about the usual pace of cultural change— everything was different. What used to feel dead and monkish now feels vibrant and alive. It is precisely what we hoped the new architecture would do.
David Kelley, Founder and Leader, Stanford d.school The whole culture of the place says, “We’re looking for better ideas, not keep your feet off the furniture.” Every element is meant to stir innovation.
Mike Koperski, Director, Business Services and Facilities,Golden Gate University Having worked with MKThink on programming, master planning and construction projects since 2012, I can attest to their uncanny ability to grasp the intricacies, laser win on the challenges, and then develop innovative and creative solutions that have resulted in significant facility improvements throughout the University.

Stephanie C. Jaeger, Director of Architecture, San Francisco International Airport MKThink’s innovative thinking helped us develop a new approach to how we design and operate our facilities in the pursuit of achieving Net Zero Energy consumption. They have an incredible ability to communicate complex information in the simplest manner.
Geoff De Santis, Plant Operations Director, Schools of the Sacred Heart San Francisco Insights from MKThink’s indoor environmental analysis had an immediate impact on our students and faculty as well as our building. The discovery that many classrooms receive ample daylight reduced our use of artificial lighting. Calmer classrooms and increased productivity were the result.
