From public school systems to private institutions, Bohler works with administrators and key stakeholders to develop educational facilities and outdoor spaces that accelerate learning.
Bohler’s in-depth K-12 and higher education project experience means we understand the unique needs and requirements of the highly diverse stakeholder groups involved in these projects and excel at identifying new opportunities for enhancing the student experience.
Our team is always looking beyond site design to visualize how facilities will be used. We stay abreast of campus planning and development trends, needs, and challenges such as:
Raising a school’s stature within the community
Incorporating social spaces and outdoor learning areas
Creating a strong sense of community
Ensuring student and faculty safety, including securing access points
Minimizing disruption on active campuses
Designing for efficient traffic and pedestrian patterns
Planning for neighborhood compatibility
The result? With expertise in site selection, academic campuses, athletic fields and complexes, student housing, and more, our team empowers elementary, secondary, and collegiate schools to consider the future of the educational environment and accomplish more than they thought possible.
Our team collaborates with public school districts and privately funded boarding and charter schools on land development projects that enable them to address their growing needs.
For new construction, renovations, and school improvements, we design K-12 spaces that:
Foster a safe and healthy learning environment
Ensure the security of staff and visitors
Provide for flexible spaces, including opportunities for schools to incorporate flexible seating, which has a proven impact on student performance
Maximize energy efficiency
Enable adoption of new technologies
Establish efficient traffic and pedestrian circulation – especially during the busiest times – morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up
We work with developers, colleges, and universities to drive campus improvements that will attract students and raise the profile of the school and the larger community, including:
Designing new or expanding existing residence halls
Developing amenity-rich off-campus housing
Planning for courtyards and plaza areas for social gathering and creating a sense of community
Developing top-notch athletic facilities – a significant factor in school choice for many students
Designing stormwater management systems that can also serve as real-world laboratories for students
Prioritizing sustainability and developing environmentally focused solutions
Ensuring adequate and safe parking
Equally, our team understands the importance of maintaining campus and pedestrian accessibility and establishes effective phasing solutions that minimize the impact on student life.
As on-call consultants, we also deliver the quick turnaround required for institutions to maintain forward momentum and meet scheduling goals.
