driven by connections we enrich communities through meaningful collaborations and purposeful design

Enriching Communities SFS enriches communities through meaningful collaborations and purposeful design. For 50 years, we have been collaborating with communities to develop facilities for education, culture, business, recreation and governance. These facilities act as catalysts for community development, engagement and prosperity.

Meaningful Collaborations We develop solutions that are conceived from a collaboration with our clients and community stakeholders, based on the unique context of each project.

We engage our clients in a collaborative dialogue throughout the process. Together we exchange ideas, share expertise and – above all – we listen. Through open, candid communication, we gain consensus and create truly successful design.

Purposeful Design Design is what we do; it’s what we love. And what we love most is design that is dynamic and sustainable, enduring and enriching — design that builds relationships between people, their communities and the larger environment.

Workplace: Planning, Programming and Design SFS has significant experience collaborating with public, private and not-for-profit organizations to develop Workplace Programs of Requirements and plans for creating high performance workplaces. These programming efforts take a deep dive into an organization's workplace by first collecting a wide range of data about it - the size and condition of its current facilities/workspace, its organizational structure and day-to-day operations, FF&E inventory and, most importantly, its mission, vision, values and strategic business plan. This data, along with conversations with organizational leaders, user groups and other key stakeholders, is used to develop and evaluate options for accommodating changing workplace requirements due to workforce expansion, contraction, consolidation, relocation or mission-driven reorganization. These programs then provide the framework for planning and design.

Our recent work has focused on creating high performance workspace through space reduction and the consolidation of workers, technology integration, mobility/remote work, flexibility and collaboration, along with the renovation, repurposing and expansion of existing facilities/spaces and improved building systems. Furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) along with branding, environmental graphics and signage have also played a key role in the development of these workspaces.

Just as organizations must adapt to change, so must their physical environments. We work closely with our clients to identify the operational, technological and cultural shifts that impact their productivity, recruiting, retention and their bottom line. Then, we develop solutions – whether reorganizing or consolidating, enhancing collaboration, or supporting a multigenerational work force – that maximize the potential of organizations and employees.
