As the history of colleges and universities becomes more expansive, their infrastructure and facilities begin to age and may need adaptation to accommodate the current needs of students and faculty. At TKDA, we provide innovative engineering and architectural solutions to help higher education institutions renovate and modernize their aging infrastructure. Our multi-disciplined team of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, planners, surveyors, and civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural engineers collaborate to understand the unique challenges that universities and colleges face when maintaining and upgrading their facilities. From historic buildings to modern facilities, we specialize in solving complexity to ensure these spaces promote academic excellence and enhance the student experience.

We work hand in hand with campuses to develop custom, cost-effective solutions that address needs for short and long-term growth. Whether renovating a historic residence hall or designing a new, modern facility, our team is committed to fostering environments that inspire learning. To support our clients’ unique cultures, programs, and priorities, our services include:

• Performing comprehensive facility assessments
• Identifying critical repairs and upgrades to meet current safety standards and building codes
• Implementing ADA accessibility improvements
• Meeting sustainability goals and standards
• Providing design solutions and engineering services

In addition to aging infrastructure improvements, we design new educational facilities that span residence halls, student commons and lounges, classrooms, trade and shop, laboratories, sports and recreation facilities, and dining centers. Our work prioritizes collaboration and flexibility to create adaptable environments that foster the dynamic needs of students, faculty, and the community.
