Facilities that attract students and faculty, contribute to their success,Higher Education
and support the mission of the institutions we serve.
At SSOE, we deliver projects geared toward student success for our clients in higher education. Our multidisciplinary team of award-winning professionals works hard to create smart designs that support the mission and vision of the institutions we serve. We appreciate that projects for higher education are as diverse and unique as their campus communities. It’s because of this that we also understand that both the exterior spaces between buildings and the interior spaces within are of equal importance. We take great pride in developing environments that are collaborative, innovative, forward-thinking, inspiring, and—most importantly—adaptable. We couple changing pedagogies with advanced technologies to create unique places that can be enjoyed by students, staff, researchers, and administrators well into the future.
“At every opportunity, the SSOE team was available for questions and eager to meet with our administration, staff, and end-users—keeping everyone involved in the decision making and design process. During the construction phase, SSOE team members were true advocates for the college; they were on-site on regular basis, and worked closely with contractors and administration to assure a successful project.”
Michael S. McDonald, Executive Director – Operations, Owens Community College
