Our Purpose

Design has the power to inspire joy, uplift lives, and strengthen the spirit of community.

We're in it for the greater good.

We create places with meaning.

Our goal is to design places that make a positive difference in the world. That’s why people are at the heart of everything we do.

There’s so much more to architecture than what meets the eye. Every place has a story, and as we design, we help tell it. Our work enlivens neighborhoods, builds communities, energizes the citizenry, and respects and protects our planet.

We design with purpose.

Several ideals ignite our passions and keep us focused on what matters. These core values are the building blocks of who we are and what we stand for. They give us purpose.

About Our Practice

We design high-performance, technologically advanced research facilities where the nation’s finest scientists make strides toward groundbreaking discovery.

We have designed for than 50 million square feet of science facilities in the past ten years, ranging from a 1,000-square-foot laboratory fit-out to a multi-million square foot science city. Our practice has received more than 100 designed awards for projects within the last five years and has been recognized for innovation in science and research facility planning.

Evoking the voice and ambitions behind a project is what we love to do; helping to share in creating a platform for critical exploration happening every day. We know, because for over 80 years, we've been designing buildings in which the world's pioneers thrive. Our team creates value by helping our clients channel their assets - people, processes, and facilities - to best support strategic objectives and encourage discovery. We want to enable our partners to identify their goals, evaluate options, make informed strategic decisions, and envision a sustainable plan for their future. Today's scientific environments are competitive venues for the best and the brightest, where success hinges on the ability to attract talent with inspiring design, and to engage them with the tools to meet their needs. As a partner to our clients and their stakeholders, we craft these novel concepts with an original approach. Working collectively allows us to recognize key differentiators and apply them to make distinctive, valued design solutions.
