Higher Education Facilities Design

L.R. Kimball higher education architecture focuses on private, community and public institutions. Our work includes master planning and design for administrative, academic, science, research and sports facilities, as well as residence halls.  Our work incorporates the best practices in design and construction to advance state-of-the-art creation of learning, livable, and sustainable environments. Our high-performance, cost-effective design enables us to produce healthy, energy-efficient, and comfortable living, learning and working places for our higher education clients.

As award-winning designers of educational facilities, we believe that campus development should enhance the teaching/learning, social, and cultural life of the institution; accommodate programmatic and technological change; respond to the surrounding environment; efficiently fulfill program requirements; maximize the value of every dollar invested and, perhaps, most importantly, be beautifully crafted.

We help our clients meet their institutional mission, and provide exceptional facilities in order to attract and retain high-quality students.
