Every place on campus should provide an opportunity to learn and grow.
By embracing design challenges with curiosity and collaboration, we help clients realize their vision and create new and improved spaces for students to engage. Our designs create opportunities for informal collisions and gatherings among students and faculty while reinforcing the message of the institution, establishing a sense of place, and providing flexible spaces that can adapt to the changing needs of education and research.
Wellness, pride, and community coalesce in varsity sports. SMMA supports these values through the design of athletics facilities from arenas and playing fields to weight rooms and therapy pools.
"In higher education, we’re constantly thinking in terms of scale and growth. How do the needs of students change from their first year to their fourth year, but also, what is the institution going to be 30 years from now? These existential questions for a college campus are endlessly fascinating and a joy to work through with our client partners.”
