MASTER PLANNING
_


A MAJOR PART OF WORKING WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL sector IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE school, college or university strategic MASTERPLAN

Our Process:

The aim of ANY MASTERPLAN is to develop the future of the campus and to cater for the anticipated long term growth & FLUX of student enrolments.

The masterplan works towards a shared pedagogical vision for THE COLLEGE, SCHOOL OR UNIVERSITY.

THE MASTERPLAN IS DEVELOPED AT MULTIPLE SCALES - FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS THAT MAKE UP THE OVERALL TO THE LARGER BIG PICTURE STRATEGIES FOR THE CAMPUS & COMMUNITY.

Our Masterplans are developed in accordance with the brief developed in consultation with our clients and the CEO guidelines for Masterplanning.
