HIGHER EDUCATION
enhancing the campus experience
The college campus is a complex network of culture, education, operations, and social connection. The heart of a campus is its people, supported by the site, buildings, amenities, and programmed activities. At Spiezle, we focus on the experience. We focus on communicating what makes your institution special through the built environment. We appreciate the challenges that colleges and universities face in achieving their strategic mission. Our diverse team of professionals is motivated by the endless opportunities to positively impact institutions and the communities they serve.
Our success is rooted in the consistent pursuit of understanding the needs of an institution and developing a meaningful relationship as a trusted resource and partner. The buildings and grounds of a college express the identity of the institution. What does your campus say about you?

designing with wellness in mind
Nearly three-quarters of college students report experiencing some form of mental health concern during their time in college. For Spiezle, one of our top priorities is to support students and improve their physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Many of the challenges faced by students are invisible and all are deeply personal. Through informed planning and thoughtful design, the built environment can dramatically improve their experience.
Spiezle crafts spaces that create inclusion and accessibility to promote self-care, confidence, and safety. We seek opportunities to enhance existing assets and enact positive change that is manageable, measurable, and affordable. Our collaborative process gathers input from various stakeholders and then applies research and critical thinking, resulting in solutions that are specific to your campus and community needs.
With over 100 years of combined experience, Spiezle’s thought leaders offer a depth of knowledge well beyond the industry expectations
