Markets

Education 

We partner with school boards, colleges, and universities to create spaces that support academic success and community connection. Our work spans classrooms, childcare centers, student residences, Indigenous gathering spaces, and more.

Supporting learning at every level

Every school is more than a building—it’s a foundation for growth. We help clients deliver safe, sustainable, and inspiring spaces for students, staff, and communities.

Elementary and secondary schools 

Whether it’s a new elementary school or a major addition to an existing one, we collaborate with public and private school boards to create engaging learning environments. 

Post-secondary campuses

We work with colleges and universities to bring a wide range of post-secondary projects to life. Our services adapt to each site and project, balancing form, function, and long-term use.

Indigenous learning and cultural spaces

We are proud to support the creation of Indigenous-led and inspired learning environments that honour culture, ceremony, and storytelling.

Adaptive reuse and campus revitalization

We help educational institutions reimagine aging infrastructure through sensitive renovations and adaptive reuse. From heritage buildings to underused urban spaces, our work preserves what matters while upgrading facilities for modern use and code compliance.

Engineering climate-conscious campuses

As education evolves, so do the expectations for climate-conscious spaces. Our team helps reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance and accessibility. 

We support Net Zero and LEED goals through site design and building envelope consulting.

Using LID strategies like bioswales and separators, we help manage runoff and protect surrounding ecosystems on education sites. 

We account for extreme weather, urban heat, and groundwater risks with infrastructure designed for long-term climate resilience. 

We help support materials and systems that lower emissions and reduce environmental load.
