Operations, Maintenance & Storage Facilities
We are leaders in sustainable design and carbon reduction
Every facility has unique operational, building, site, community, and environmental obligations—and we understand how each of these requirements contributes to the operational effectiveness and health of your organization. We specialize in planning, programming, design, safety, workflow optimization, and implementation to meet your needs from concept to completion.
We design spaces that help increase productivity, ensure quality, and achieve the greatest impact on processes and safe work environments. We focus on health and wellness and bring regenerative design to our clients, users, and these facilities.
Our Operations, Maintenance, and Storage Facilities (OMSF) team has built a major practice that has delivered over 500 OMSF projects across North America for transit agencies, utility districts, public works departments, aviation, and military clients. How can we help you optimize your facility, fleet, or operations?

We look at how similar organizations operate, and we review the latest innovative design solutions that could be incorporated into your project. We help you determine whether reconfiguration and expansion of an existing facility is needed or if consolidation into a single, new, or renovated facility is the best solution. ",
