TVS engages honed perspectives across multiple markets with public, private and institutional clients to deliver design solutions that meet the complex challenges of the 21st century.

Listen. Solve. Deliver.

SUSTAIN ABILITY

TVS has helped clients benefit from many aspects of sustainable design since the firm’s inception in 1968. Our staff of LEED and WELL Accredited Professionals works to find a balance of social, environmental and economic factors in our projects drawing from our experience in LEED Platinum and WELL certified projects. As a leader in the integration of sustainable practices with client satisfaction and design innovation, TVS has the capacity to develop any project according to the client’s desired level of environmental responsibility. With over 57 LEED Certified projects we’ve received countless awards for creating remarkable designs for our clients and communities.

We have pursued the Living Building Challenge 4.0 on several projects at a conceptual level, but those projects did not continue with the program.

PLACE

Our green roofs include farm to table urban roof gardens, extensive and intensive vegetated roofs.

WATER

We use climate responsive passive design strategies to reduce water demand on our projects.

ENERGY

We use passive design strategies to reduce energy demand on our projects.

HEALTH + HAPPINESS

Our designs promote healthy habits.

MATERIALS

We specify low carbon materials.

EQUITY

Work with client to develop equitable access to, and protections from negative impacts.

BEAUTY

Design to include elements that nurture the innate human/nature connection.

TVS was recognized by United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) as the first organization ever to achieve both LEED and WELL Platinum through a streamlined, dual track. This path encourages and simplifies the process for both certifications and for TVS to have achieved the highest level of both standards speaks to the firm’s commitment to embracing human and planetary health.

The design team’s focus wasn’t necessarily to pursue points to certification. It was to do the best job possible across all aspects of the projects , given very challenging budgetary and time constraints. When considering design options, the team weighed them for their near- and long-term impact on the firm’s collective wellbeing – what solution would be the most equitable, provide the best environment to do good work, use resources most effectively and sustainably?

Ultimately, these certifications were achieved through initiatives like:

- Reuse of 60% of furniture plus ceiling systems and lighting

- A scrappy, DIY sensibility – in house 3D printed signage

- Carbon negative and recycled materials

- Daylighting studies

- Connection to nature via terrace

- Biophilia

As the team approached the end of the project it became clear that, with a small push, they could meet the Platinum requirements for LEED and WELL. The new streamlined process made that possible and this new approach is strongly recommended.

FROM CLASSROOMS TO COMMUNITY, DESIGNING FOR LEARNING AND BEYOND.

We design spaces with the intention to inspire and encourage people to become the best they can be. An innovative and successful educational setting allows for life and learning to exist in a symbiotic relationship that aligns students, faculty and the overall goals of the institution. Respecting existing traditions, yet understanding the need for adaptable and sustainable solutions, our team creates the context for memorable learning experiences. We believe in a holistic campus approach, realizing the potential of every aspect to nurture a climate for educational success by stimulating imaginations.

We make remarkable design easy.

Master plan efforts included a utilization study and space analysis, programming and user group meetings, space planning and conceptual design work, and production of a completed master plan document to guide future development.

The project proposes the reworking of the first and second floor spaces to provide improved security, flow, wayfinding, and programmatic changes as well as the removal of an aging, two-story modular building and the construction of a new administrative and gymnasium wing in its place. Throughout the building, academic spaces are reimagined with grade-level classrooms grouped around shared grade-level commons and resource spaces. Classrooms for art, music, culinary, and STEM programs are relocated and expanded, and the existing dining hall, kitchen, and servery are be reconfigured and expanded to provide increased dining capacity and the flexibility for hosting events. Renovations to the existing chapel and building entry improve the school’s ability to welcome visitors with greater security and access control.
