Our Government & Justice Group focuses on the design of federal, state and local government buidlings. It is our goal to champion the built environment strategies and goals of our clients. We believe in two key philosophies most critical to the success of public facilities:
- Prioritizing function as a primary driver of the design decisions and strategies
- Reviewing current industry trends and technologies with the client to identify opportunities to improve current operational flow and costs
Understanding the relationship public agencies have with their constituencies is critical to designing public facilities that provide safety and security to employees and the public they serve, while also maintaining the appropriate access necessary to meet the public’s needs. Whether it is a fire station, police station, or municipal administration building, a level of public interaction is expected and desired. These expectations must be balanced with the need for a safe barrier from functional areas such as staff offices, fire or police operations and living quarters. We understand how to create public facilities that enable high levels of service and safety, while promoting civic trust and interaction.
