“Our industry-leading university estate design strategies deliver a framework for cross-discipline, interdepartmental collaboration and bring vibrancy and character to campuses. We optimise university footprints to create exceptional buildings and spaces for exceptional people.”
Scott Mackenzie, Head of Education
Designing for higher education continues to form a significant proportion of our work. Education is increasingly recognised as a primary catalyst for social and economic development and this is reflected in our growing portfolio of projects.
We create student centred learning environments that promote interaction and address a range of needs from general teaching hubs through to specialist faculty buildings.
Our commitment to a user centred design ethos, our very strong sense of place and the adoption of innovative design technologies, such as design for manufacture assembly and low carbon timber structures, has continued to see our workload flourish.
