Architecture

The goal our architects is to provide balance between the global business needs of our Clients while being able to address the smallest design details of their building. Our design experience in industrial, laboratory, warehouse/distribution, office/flex and corporate office is responsive to the demands of larger trends including:

  • Consolidation of manufacturing with distribution operations into larger, integrated facilities
  • Logistics and strategic location for “just-in-time” shipping, intermodal transportation
  • “Inside out” building design with infrastructure to serve very individual requirements
  • Flexible buildings for growth and adaptation to new technologies and ownership
  • Sophisticated processes and material handling
  • Increased importance for energy and environmental issues and sustainable design (LEED)
  • Needs of an increasingly competitive labor market

 

Our recent laboratory and life sciences design experience has evolved naturally from the highly technical industrial design with which we have developed expertise over the years.
