Creating environments that nurture and inspire future generations

Our education consultants design spaces that adapt to the latest ideas in teaching and learning, creating connected communities where students feel like they belong.

The design of every facility¡ªfrom early learning to the most advanced research laboratories and specialist needs facilities¡ªrequires an understanding of how structures, services, materials and green space enhance wellness and the user experience. The built environment has a substantial impact on learning progress, human performance and wellbeing.

Working collaboratively, we take time to fully understand what matters. We take a design-focused approach to deliver energy efficient buildings that meet decarbonisation targets and reduce energy bills, in turn creating additional vital funds for learning resources. Our comprehensive process looks at spaces and education infrastructure through the lens of the user. By creating immersive learning spaces and studios and workshops that mirror the workplace, and considering the increased use of outdoor space, our team examines all aspects that shape the physical and social needs of academia.

Across all communities, we¡¯re inspired to help. With our own commitments to encourage people from all backgrounds into careers in architecture, engineering, energy, and sustainability, the success of the education sector matters to us.

Empowering education with sustainable solutions

We help clients create energy efficient academic facilities. We¡¯re experienced at designing buildings that follow the Low Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) guidance on embodied and whole life carbon. We also understand the opportunities that arise from modular builds¡ªwith energy use a significant cost for large facilities, we conduct site-wide appraisals to advise on opportunities to invest in renewable energy generation and storage. Our climate risk studies identify long-term impacts to estates and shape adaptation strategies.

Taking a strategic approach to enhancing university assets

From place-making to architectural design, universities must employ a holistic and strategic approach to succeed, become more appealing and efficient, and gain better value from their assets. We help universities in the UK and Ireland to do just this¡ªmaximise and realise their potential. Learn More

Designing for primary, secondary and SEND education

Fully versed in the Department for Education¡¯s Output Specification and the Welsh government¡¯s 21st Century Schools Programme, our team has extensive experience designing primary schools, secondary schools, all-through schools, and facilities for special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities. We understand the specific requirements of each and the challenges that exist between creating facilities in tight, densely urban settings, as well as the need for reliable access to more remote locations.
