Real estate represents an important asset and a major element in the cost of doing business.

The growing body of evidence suggests that sound buildings, designed with human behavior, work flow (materials and communication), cultural implications and the business model in mind, will, in fact, aid the goals of the business.

Over the past 20 years I have studied, programmed and planned over 1000 facilities to benchmark, evaluate, detail the criteria for and produce architecture and interior design that effectively enhances a company's business model.

Masters in Architecture Thesis Summary Does it matter where our children learn?  The effects of Architecture on Educational Outcome

School buildings represent an important public asset and source of major elements of the cost of education.  The growing body of evidence suggests that sound buildings, designed with educational outcomes in mind, will, in fact, aid the goals of education both from the standpoint of academic achievement and social-emotional development.  During the course of 4 years over 1000 public educational facilities Pre-kindergarten through 12th graded were studied and evaluated to understand, detail the criteria and produce evidence that reveals in fact architecture can and will affect educational outcome.
