DESIGN PROCESS A listen-first approach, combined with alternative analysis and contextual design practices will drive the design process. Integrating staff, student, and other users’ perspectives will result in solutions that maximize available space and funds. The team will work with a District, potential partners, and project stakeholders in each phase of design to ensure that every viable option is considered, and solutions benefit Districts and communities for years to come.

HANDS-ON APPROACH Contextual Design A design process that integrates both internal and external elements such as goals, culture, history, and best practices to deliver quality solutions that meet or exceed a client’s vision. Context incorporates all of the factors beyond four walls—site, community, image, goals, future, connectivity, etc. Alternative Analysis Alternative analysis requires one option to always be what the client asks, but two more that may enhance or alter their way of thinking. It’s a unique balance between empathy and expertise, driven by context and the client.
