The needs assessment is a fundamental step in discovering the vital issues of the buildings program, scope of work, and current and/or future needs. Completion of the assessment will effectively dictate staff/ building planning and future renovations for many years to come. We have completed needs assessments serving as a foundation to design planning and budget for municipal facilities in a vast range of types, needs, and sizes. 

Our experience ranges designing master plans for complex city yard facilities, campuses for water districts, to smaller urban infill projects and projects that involve challenging topological conditions. 

Our site studies regard the community, codes, zoning, ease of circulation, department infrastructure, urban infrastructure and transportation, and are often aligned with maximizing passive sustainable strategies. 

Stemming from our expertise and experience with office planning we would develop design schemes for workstation layouts needed for optimal function of the Department within a given space. 

We help our Clients to review and assess previous studies of their existing facilities and develop a solid program that initiates the physical building design process.
