Services
We are designers and leaders, but first we are humans, with an enduring dedication to the environment and to one another. Endless potential happens at the intersection of learning and place. Our educational environments inspire curiosity, discovery, and multigenerational collaboration. Clear communication, strong partnerships, and a collaborative leadership model result in the most inclusive and efficient project.
Our work is diverse and integrated, with an overall interdisciplinary approach that encompasses a wide variety of services. At D+W, we deliver projects through a critical practice and the consideration of how the built environment influences our world. We are committed to integrating sustainable solutions into our projects.
Our thoughtful designs ensure all students, no matter their ability, learning preferences, or age, are given the opportunity to learn, discover, and create. We design these inspirational spaces, envisioning each learning environment through a child's eyes. Our flexible designs respond to the unique needs of each client's educational model, ensuring spaces can support changes in teaching and learning over time.
Higher education continually seeks to improve the lives of current students while also attracting prospective applicants. This dynamic requires finding the balance between the need for constant stewardship efforts, building maintenance, and the vision for next generation innovative space that makes students feel inspired, included, and safe.
We utilize our comprehensive understanding of modern policing and fire-fighting to ensure each client's public safety facility is healthy, energy efficient, comfortable, durable, contextually appropriate, and reflective of the history, culture, and traditions of the organization and community. We conduct programming interviews, visual surveys, and public safety research to inform and inspire our design.
