Research
The way we live, work, learn, and gather is rapidly evolving and increasingly connected. We believe the design challenges of today demand a holistic approach. As we work to design the world we hope for; one that is more equitable, sustainable, and innovative; research and discovery play an increasingly important role in our efforts to provide resilient solutions for our clients.
From case studies in adaptive re-use to best practices for expanding outdoor learning environments on campus in the wake of a pandemic, we apply lessons learned from our diverse expertise to refine our process and share our findings. Learn more about our recent research projects.
