Thoughtful Design for Colleges & Universities

Colleges and universities work with Widseth on a wide variety of project types because we have the versatility to tackle planning and design for everything from site improvements to athletic facilities to building renovations, additions, and new construction.

Planning

During the planning stage we listen to your vision and collect as much information as possible to get a holistic understanding of your campus and your goals. We assess your facilities and systems, analyze enrollment trends, engage stakeholders to make sure all voices are heard, and make recommendations accordingly.
