Campuses

Design Workshop fashions beautiful and functional campuses that play an equally vital role in an academic setting as in a corporate one. Well-planned and enticing university campuses attract and retain students and faculty and encourage the support of alumni and the surrounding community. Alluring corporate settings act as a magnet for quality employees, make an impact on investors and become an asset to the community. Our cross-disciplinary experience in land planning, urban design, landscape architecture and tourism planning provides the vision to create everything from vibrant, selfsustaining communities to engaging nooks for solitude. Our campuses enhance the quality of life, foster an atmosphere conducive to learning and working, promote social encounters and provide safe, efficient movement from place to place. Guided by the classic principles of place-making, we design environments where people can flourish spiritually, socially and economically in harmony with the natural environment.

While reinforcing the social and intellectual vitality of the community, we strive to conserve land resources, accommodate growth, achieve seamless transitions from buildings to open spaces and preserve the character of both regional and historical contexts. We address the details of pedestrian and vehicular circulation and parking, service and emergency vehicle access, entry and signage system design and appropriate lighting. Our proficiency allows us to reconcile diverse priorities, achieve timely approvals, set standards for long-term stewardship of the asset and create measurable and lasting value for the projects we undertake. We design campuses that are compact, walkable, vibrant and unforgettable.
