Facilities that attract students and faculty, contribute to their success, and support the mission of the institutions we serve.

At SSOE, we deliver projects geared toward student success for our clients in higher education. Our multidisciplinary team of award-winning professionals works hard to create smart designs that support the mission and vision of the institutions we serve. We appreciate that projects for higher education are as diverse and unique as their campus communities. We also understand that both the exterior spaces between buildings and the interior spaces within are of equal importance. We take great pride in developing environments that are collaborative, innovative, sustainable, forward-thinking, inspiring, and—most importantly—adaptable. We couple changing pedagogies with advanced technologies to create unique places that can be enjoyed by students, staff, researchers, and administrators well into the future.

Our approach begins by recognizing that every space—whether it is a classroom, laboratory, cafeteria, common area, or corridor—is an extension of the learning environment. We work with our higher education clients and their stakeholders to design flexible and dynamic learning spaces that encompass both student and staff wellness and extend beyond traditional classrooms.

Creating a sense of space through uniquely memorable environments and vibrant communities.

We design hospitality, multi-family, and mixed-use projects that inspire communities to actively interact with their surroundings, are profitable, and promote sustainable design practices. From high-rise apartment buildings, to urban condominiums and small-scale developments, our team understands range of style requirements and complex needs of diverse residents. Whether we’re designing new construction or renovating adaptive reuse facilities, we create comfortable and inviting environments that promote satisfaction for guests and residents.

Hospitality

Great hospitality design is not merely about design for today – it’s about designing for the future. What will keep the guest returning again and again, a decade or more into the future? Comfortable, invigorating, and refined, our designs provide a memorable guest experience. By researching the place and people, we can create hospitality experiences that are culturally relevant to the surrounding community. We assist our clients in developing hotels and residences that are designed both for living and business, welcoming to visitors from all walks of life, for whatever purpose they need from a space.

Placemaking and market feasibility are needed to create an environment with immediate and long-term value. We apply years of industry expertise to focus on design solutions that create an overarching sense of place. No matter how great a destination looks, leisure and hospitality projects should be developed with efficiency and operation in mind. Beauty without function is not something a hotel or boutique property can afford.

At SSOE, we consider the challenges that your team could face throughout the life of the project. Our team is skilled in providing innovative hospitality designs that create one-of-a-kind atmospheres for the nation’s top brands. Whether we’re designing new construction or renovating adaptive reuse facilities, we create comfortable and inviting environments that promote guest satisfaction.

Multi-Family

The complex needs of diverse residents requires exceptional planning and design. There is a certain unpredictability when it comes to the future of residential projects – who will occupy them and how will they turn their new space into their dream home?

Through years of experience, our team has developed a strategic process to help guide clients through the planning and design of multi-family environments. We creatively blend future trends with contemporary designs, all while remaining mindful of the needs of the community. By creating a wonderful sense of place, we look to enhance the quality of life of our tenants.

Projects for multi-family use can incorporate a range of style requirements. Everything from high-rise apartment buildings to small-scale developments deserve the utmost attention. These projects need to reflect the ever-changing demographics and desires of communities.

SSOE understands the demands of modern life, and the concerns of developers and building owners. We draw from best practices to achieve our clients’ goals, delivering innovative solutions for ambitious sustainability goals, challenging locations, and fast-track timelines. No matter the building type, we produce designs with quality and safety at the forefront.

Mixed-Use

People are finding their way back to the city. They want places that are alive, places that are vibrant, and places where they can live, work and play. Mixed-use centers are destinations that excite people, that pull them in and hold them. They need to work to create great urban places and benefit the public realm.

The perfect mixed-use project will create a property that is built around the pedestrian, with long-term value and livability in mind. It will be free of predictability and formula, instead creating a singular experience that is not replicated anywhere else. SSOE understands the unique aspects of designing mixed-use properties, as there are plenty factors to consider – i.e. politics, economics, and real estate, just to name a few.

That’s why we study and evaluate the neighborhood’s character and develop a plan to create a property that has a real sense of place. Mixed-use properties should belong, not stand out. They need to have spirit and uniqueness, yet speak to the history of an area. Our experience spans from planning and feasibility studies through project delivery – implementing principles of proven urbanism, connectivity and sustainability.

Experts

Published & Proven

Our experts have been published in publications such as Health Facilities Today, Health Facilities Management, and Medical Construction & Design

“In acute care facilities, it’s a significant strength to have a team that has worked extensively in that facility before. SSOE has knowledge of the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and structural systems that others will not, they just gain over time. They have a much better understanding of the existing conditions in the building and what would need to be addressed or accounted for when I’m designing a project. This has allowed them to develop relationships with the hospital’s leaders. Because they’ve done such a good job, they have a lot of credibility.”

Enhancing the brand and culture of your business by creating spaces that inspire success.

Our multidisciplinary professionals provide creative design solutions from the inside out, specializing in beautiful spaces that reflect your corporate identity, serve the needs of your business, and enrich the lives of those who use them. From single-story office retrofits to stand-alone headquarters, or multi-acre corporate campuses, our inspired designs integrate flexibility, aesthetics, and occupant accommodations. Our style adapts to your needs and the environment; we have designed everything from modern office spaces to historic renovations.

Our process starts with listening, but it doesn’t stop there. We bring together your stakeholders and ask questions to discover information you may not have thought to share. This ensures we not only address your functional needs, but also your future plans and the feeling you want your space to evoke. The result is innovative environments that are welcoming, comfortable, and scalable—serving to attract, retain, and engage staff and clients.
