We work with all stakeholders to understand your vision for pre-K-12 student success.
A Tailored Environment For Every Stage Of Learning
District facilities must be customized to each community and its students. We leave preconceived ideas behind and use our co-create process to fully understand your schools, educators and students—developing a custom process for you. By creating tailored environments for every stage of learning, we work with you to both nurture and prepare students for the future.
Bond Planning
With decades of experience helping school districts with bond issues, our assistance begins even before we design. From graphic support to community forums and advocacy, we’re here to help and are proud to boast a 95+% success rate.
Community Engagement
We know a successful public school project greatly depends on community support. We’ll help you engage all stakeholders with strategic communication every step of the way.
Facility Assessments
Our evaluation goes beyond simply the mechanical and engineering; we’ll work with your educators to assess the best ways to incorporate best practices of brain-based learning throughout the facility.
Supporting Visions for Learning
Before any designs are developed, our specialists engage with key district-level staff to explore your visions for learning, both now and in the future.
The Park Hill School District has worked with the Hollis + Miller Team conducting long-range planning and specific buildings designs as a part of our district’s $49.5 million bond issue. Having worked with a number of quality firms throughout the years, I find Hollis + Miller to be very professional and competent in school design, while incorporating community expectations into the process…and the ultimate final product. Timelines are very important in all school construction and I am impressed with Hollis + Miller’s ability to be responsive to our specific timelines and yet honest about appropriate workflow requirements.
The Blue Springs School District and Hollis + Miller Architects have worked collaboratively for over 20 years. The partnership we have is built on relationship and trust, always centered on creating a product that is best for our students and staff. We are always amazed at the innovation, thoughtfulness, and intentionality evident throughout the process, resulting in a learning environment that makes our school community proud. It is for this reason that we continue to design our future with the Hollis + Miller Architect team.
Danielle Dratch and Greg Porter provided an outstanding level of architectural service to the district on our project. Support and attention from Partner in Charge Chris Heinz has been ever-present throughout the processes and Michelle Chavey facilitated our Design Advisory Group with skill, knowledge and efficiency.
