Bringing institutional knowledge to learning spaces

Higher education projects are beholden to student schedules, layers of budget approvals and the complexities of combining live, learn, research and work spaces. The Rockwise Strategies team has supported hundreds of these projects from initial estimates through final walkthroughs. In collaborating with colleges and universities as well as the architects that design them, we’ve developed an understanding of the nuances of budgeting public dollars, collaborating with institutional stakeholders, planning for specialized technology, and much more.
