From state-of-the-art geothermally conditioned college dormitories to science labs and general classrooms to a 260 person community assembly building for a local elementary school, we aim to find the appropriate expression for each educational project. Buildings invariably create a dialogue with their surroundings and each other and become physical statements about the time and place in which they are created. Contextual considerations often play a significant role in determining the outward expression of our institutional work. We work to ensure these buildings find harmony with their surroundings yet retain their own identity.
