Because 75% or our work involves renovation, expansion and build-out, we know how to anticipate the opportunities and resolve the challenges that arise from these specialty, complicated projects.

Our team approaches each project looking to capitalize on the opportunities that present themselves – to the greatest benefit for the client.  For healthcare related renovation projects, our experience has identified many areas of concern – as well as great possibilities – with the most important being as follows:

  • Maintaining Accelerated Schedule
  • Total Team Responsiveness
  • Program and Budget Alignment
  • Dust, Noise, Vibration Control During Construction
  • Minimal Disruption To Staff, Students and Patients
  • Swing Space/Phasing
  • Maximizing Space/Efficient Layout
  • Coordination with Other Projects in the Same Building
  • Future Occupancy Considerations – Flexibility
  • Truly Interdisciplinary Research Environments
  • Recruiting Students, Staff and Researchers
  • Stakeholder Involvement/Sign-Off
  • Function! High Performance Design
  • Incorporating New Technologies
