Master Planning

A Master Plan provides a long view of a project. It’s an opportunity for a client to see how a project will evolve over time and how each piece may affect another. A solid master plan allows a client to make informed decisions and to prioritize various aspects of a project.

It is an adaptable, dynamic document that accounts for long-duration goals while incorporating spatial, budgetary, and programmatic parameters. Anticipating the future is never simple and each institution has a unique vision.
