ARCHITECTURE
At Page, we provide a creative design process resulting in buildings and places unique to their situations. Our designs are well-researched program-driven solutions aided by integrated multidisciplinary expertise and a strategic mindset. We’re global thinkers building locally and making communities. Our portfolio reflects our commitment to visionary design, record of innovation and, most important, success with complex and sophisticated projects.
We develop unique designs for every project reflecting our expertise for each building type, client, need and location. We take pride in knowing that a Page project is among the best possible solutions to meeting the needs of its multiple stakeholders from owner to operator to user to neighbor.
ENGINEERING
We were one of the first firms in the nation to integrate in-house engineering design services. Today, our multidisciplinary mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and process engineering practice areas work collaboratively across our firm and with design and construction partners to bring your concepts to reality.
We’re leading the development of the latest industry codes and standards for safety, wellness, sustainability, energy and carbon neutrality. Using a combination of custom tools and Building Information Technology solutions, we visualize and communicate how occupants and operations interface with complex, integrated building and process systems. Our early adoption of advances in renewable energy, microgrids, Internet of Things and high-performance systems demonstrate our commitment to socially responsible design.

Examples of this work include wayfinding systems, architectural graphics, signage, exhibit design, retail design and themed or branded spaces. We operate at the intersection of communications and the built environment. We provide architectural and placemaking visioning and create overall design vocabularies that help clients hone in on the possibilities,
HISTORIC PRESERVATION / MODERNIZATION
Page’s historic preservation and modernization service begins by asking the question: “What can be done to help this building perform
Our integrated modernization approach unlocks the potential of existing buildings. Furthermore, historic preservation and modernization adapts spaces to support changes in the industry in buildings such as Courthouses, Historic Buildings, Hospitals, Government Buildings, and National Park Facilities, making them more efficient and sustainable, all while respecting the building’s
STRATEGIES / ANALYTICS
Before we design physical spaces, our Strategies & Analytics team members lead a strategic planning process with our specialists, designers and clients to crystallize both the vision and objective for a project. They understand business dynamics and organizational complexities, which allows them to facilitate productive discussions. We generate a robust understanding of the problem at hand prior to design in order to facilitate, support and in some cases guide clients’ organizational change and growth decisions.
We have proven that throughout design, construction and move-in, the clearly communicated project definition developed in the pre-design phase supports effective organizational and/or operational change management even after project completion. Informed client decisions position our entire team to develop optimal solutions throughout every step of the design process.
BUILDING SCIENCES
At Page, we approach sustainable design through the interdisciplinary lens of building sciences to create higher performing, healthier and more resilient buildings. As one of the first signatories of AIA 2030 Commitment, we are invested in leading the industry towards carbonneutral buildings and advocating for resilient solutions to help our clients prepare for the future.
We believe that intention requires rigor and through our data driven and integrative process, we collaborate early and often to ensure designs are informed by our building performance analysis. With experience across a wide range of environmental certification systems, our multidisciplinary team is well qualified to provide a holistic and comprehensive approach to sustainable design.
COMMISSIONING
We recognized the level of investment and importance of facilities that function as designed from the day they open. Our Commissioning service provides this assurance to owners and operators while also minimizing costly construction rework. At Page, we accomplish commissioning through a collaborative process that includes the building owner, design professionals and the general contractor under the guiding hand of the Commissioning Authority.
Our Commissioning staff has developed a solid track record for Page as a Certified Commissioning Firm (CCF). The exacting standards of our teams of professional engineers, architects and field technicians in service of our clients support delivery of construction quality.
We perform Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing in accordance with NEBB standards. Page is an independent testing firm with absolutely no affiliation with manufacturers, factory representatives, vendors/ providers, contractors or installers of HVAC-related equipment and systems.

Academic Innovation
Collaborate to compete!
Weaving education, research, and industry partnerships into entrepreneurial environments that propel discoveries.
Our team weaves together teaching, research, and industry by taking a whole-brain approach. Starting with right-brain thinking—the kind of thinking that fosters curiosity, intuition, and creative problem solving— we work with you to imagine new spaces where partnerships inspire and create. Then, we integrate those concepts with left-brain analysis, process, and logic to achieve functionality and speed to market, driving value on your investment.
In terms of right-brain thinking, we want experiences to inform your decisions. Let’s walk different spaces, access different layouts, evaluate new materials, and, most importantly, talk with the best and brightest. Then, let’s have a conversation about what inspires you and how that fits with your goals, needs, and vision.
We also bring left-brain thinking to drive value to your project. Speed to market means everything for the person holding the checkbook, so we developed a process using a Decision Action Metric log to promote quick and accurate decision-making. Research and data help to weigh and rank each decision based on performance, lifecycle costs, and schedule impact. It’s about quickly making the right decision for your program so you can monetize intelligence. Our whole-brain experience leverages partnerships to propel discoveries that can change the world.

Health Sciences and Medical Education
"The facilities here are designed around the way we teach, and they are peppered with reminders of our mission. The majority of our faculty are here because they can do something in Austin that they can't do anywhere else. Mission is at the center."
-Clay Johnston, MD., PhD. Dean, The University of
Texas at Austin Dell Medical School
We are ranked as one of the top designers of healthcare and healthcare education facilities in Texas with many of these projects winning awards for design excellence. More important, these projects have been successful programmatically, helping set the standard for buildings that are efficient, functional and bring value to their users.
Our understanding of medical schools, schools of nursing, simulation and health education laboratories contribute to advancing the field of national medical education focused on community health and advanced global research.

Breakthroughs begin with bold ideas and curiosity, advanced through interdisciplinary collaboration and flexible environments. We share this spirit of discovery and innovation when we design cutting-edge science and technology facilities, creating spaces that adapt as new frontiers unfold.
As academic, lab planning, and design specialists we understand the essential elements that activate dynamic, interdisciplinary teaching and research facilities. Our designs encourage collaboration through transparency and thoughtful placement of “collision spaces.” These environments, designed to inspire innovation and discovery, must also be flexible and easily reconfigurable to accommodate changing technology and science, pedagogical models, and research approaches.
Providing a variety of spaces is also important, integrating quiet nooks for reflection among group study areas, project spaces, or noisy workshops where bold ideas for testing and experimentation occur. Our team’s experience with converging science, engineering, and innovation environments is critical as academic institutions and industry partners increasingly cooperate to offer learning and business development opportunities, as well as accelerate product innovation to market cycles.

Student Life
75,000+
student housing beds planned & designed
While some students like to study in their living unit, many other students find it easier to focus in more social environments such as community lounges, coffee shops, or cafeterias. A balance of private and public space is important.
We design award winning student life facilities ranging from student recreation centers, student unions and dining halls to conference and event/venue facilities. Since 2011, we have programmed, master planned and designed more than 14,000 beds of student housing in residence hall living/learning communities.
Student Residence Halls and Dining Halls are facilities that students are guaranteed to enter. As such, they need to welcome the widest diversity of the college community. Once inside, services, activities and possible interactions should be clearly visible, inviting and accessible to all. Successful student life facilities are more than the sum of their parts. Thoughtful placement of synergistic activities and services creates lively environments where students easily move from one activity to another. One of the primary design tasks is to see how each piece can reinforce the other.
Our experience designing student life buildings, combined with our consensus building approach, has been successful in creating facilities that bring together students, faculty and staff in exciting, interactive, light-filled and environmentally responsive spaces. Working together with the students and staff, we design solutions that are unique to your setting, campus culture, climate and architectural context. Our collaborative approach ultimately leads to buildings and interior environments reflective of the individual character of each campus.

Arts and Performing Arts
1M+
square feet of theatre design
The programming, planning, and design of cultural projects comprise a significant part of our portfolio, which includes auditoriums, theaters, and facilities for performing arts that have involved designing for different audience groups addressing different acoustical and space needs and theatres of various sizes to meet both entertainment and education needs.
Page has extensive experience designing performing arts facilities including proscenium theatres, “black box” or “studio” theatres, thrust stage theatres, auditoria,open stage concert halls, amphitheaters, lecture / recital halls, ballet studios, percussion studios, music therapy studios, and rehearsal studios for band, orchestra, chorus, and mariachi / jazz. Additionally, we have designed specialized galleries for the visual arts on many of our projects.
Through our experience, we have arrived at an understanding of the specific performance space issues that must be addressed in the design of a performing arts center, such as the consideration of the performance type for each space. The disciplines of drama, dance, and music all have varying requirements, specifically regarding acoustics, site lines, A/V, stage layout, and lighting.
These technically complex, programmatically diverse facilities require highly specialized architectural expertise. Page collaborates with leading acousticians, lighting designers and theatre planners throughout the nation, resulting in facilities that go beyond merely accommodating basic functions to facilities that enhance exemplary artistic presentations. To meet individual client’s needs, we respond to the specific requirements of each criteria while simultaneously working within established budgets, time constraints, and owner goals. By respecting programs, budgets, context, and sustainability, we create architecture that provides exceptional long- term value to our diverse clients.

Historic Preservation and Modernization
How do you get the benefits of a new building without building new? An integrated modernization approach that unlocks the potential of your existing building.
Preservation Rehabilitation
Restoration
Adaptive Use Areas of Expertise
Historic Preservation is an integral part of Page’s expertise-driven design practice. We view preservation as the scientific, intelligent, and creative management of change with the utmost respect for the past. Any intervention is an opportunity to reveal the essence of what makes a structure culturally significant while enabling its contemporary relevance and ensuring the highest performance of its systems. Our architects, engineers, and conservators are committed to developing creative strategies that renew, enhance, and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.
Page offers the full complement of comprehensive historic preservation design services, in-house engineering, and comprehensive energy services. The nature of our practice varies from the careful conservation of historic fabric to full building restorations to more robust rehabilitation, addition, and adaptive use projects. We also bring deep experience in negotiating the often complex regulatory process that works with historic structures. We have developed strong relationships with regulatory bodies from the municipal to the federal level.
At Page, we believe that Historic Preservation is an opportunity, not a constraint. Tangible linkage with our past is a fundamental human need and essential to enabling a healthy contemporary culture. Heritage buildings and sites offer an opportunity to layer and interweave history with the best of today’s sensibilities. Furthermore, rehabilitation projects – in the broadest sense are cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to demolition and new construction. The National Resources Defense Council estimates that 80-90 percent of the nation’s 2030 building stock already exists. We are committed to the preservation and creative adaptive use of existing structures to ensure a more sustainable future.
