Master Planning

A Flexible Future

Our world is changing rapidly. What it will—or won’t—look like a generation from now is difficult to predict. SHP’s facility master planning process provides you with a roadmap flexible enough to adapt to changing conditions and trends.

You can put your trust in SHP and our decades of planning experience, our interactive and visualization technologies, and our engagement expertise. We’d welcome the chance to talk to you about your needs.

Our Planning Process

We explore every option, dig deep, consider every scenario—new construction or renovation, for example—and assess all aspects of existing and potential facilities. We look at overall facility needs, accessibility, technology and a host of other elements. We consider how neighborhood influences, site limitations, technological advances, and utility and governing agency restrictions influence design decisions. And we rely on a collaborative, value-based approach proven to develop a comprehensive vision that your many stakeholders will embrace—and rally behind.

Facilities

What do facility assessments and standards suggest about your future needs? What regulations need to be factored into your plans? What are the pros and cons of possible building sites?

Finances

What are your budget parameters? What do demographic trends suggest about future enrollment and funding? What are the financial implications of various decisions?

Engagement

What is the best way to engage your stakeholders in the planning process? What can we learn from focus groups, surveys and the like? How can we gauge and build support for your future plans?

Research-Based Preparation

You will be hard-pressed to find another firm with more experience and insight in master planning.
