Healthcare, Education & Institutional Services

Hospitals, laboratories, and buildings with exhaust fan installations interact with the local climate in uniquely complex ways. The geometry, surrounding terrain, nearby structures, and seasonal climate conditions all influence this interaction. We offer a variety of services throughout the design process to ensure project success.

Zoning, Concept Development & Schematic Design

Early-stage efforts are geared towards identifying potential challenges and offering potential solutions at a time they can be included with relatively little cost impact to the project.
