Institutional Philosophy
We at BOTI thrive on designing educational spaces that adapt to the changing needs our clients are facing. Technology-driven, student-centered solutions have taken the forefront of new design thinking. Team-based learning and project-based learning are the norm. We see the design of 21st century academic campuses and learning environments as a pivotal opportunity to respond to a changing educational landscape across the United States.
School Design That Reflects Culture & Context
Culture is at the forefront of education design. Our past projects include elementary, secondary and special education facilities that reflect the unique culture and community of our clients. Every school we work with has a particular education philosophy and curriculum. They bring specific goals for integration with the environment and the community.
Our team understands the challenges and opportunities embedded in the modern school design process. Stewardship of resources is always at the forefront of our thinking. Working within budget constraints, we collaborate with schools and communities to design solutions that help them achieve their highest ambitions.
From Classroom to Campus to Community
We help make academic visions come to life through strategic facilities planning, the design of new classroom and laboratory buildings and renovations that modernize facilities. We work with diverse campus communities of many sizes, scales and cultures, including community and technical colleges, private institutions, and regional comprehensive universities. We first look to understand how the relationships between spaces foster community and teaching and learning goals. We then partner with our clients to develop responsive and inspiring design solutions that are fully integrated with the fabric of the campus and community.
