Campuses & Organizations

For complex organizations, institutions, and businesses seeking new building development or even campus-wide updates, a nimble design team is essential for project success. From the earliest stages of concept and visioning, the multidisciplinary team at Board & Vellum streamlines the design process, considering your project or campus as a cohesive whole.

The variety of spaces we’ve designed and planned are as unique as the organizations they’re designed for. From public-facing and internal education and training facilities, to childcare facilities, to offices and meeting rooms for staff and volunteer efforts, to equipment storage, to dining areas, to recreation spaces, to housing — even facilities for the care and shelter of animals — our work has run the gamut of specialized spaces.

Finding ways to bring unity to these discrete yet deeply connected spaces is a bit of our specialty. Our firm’s vast and complementary experience in commercial and multifamily design is invaluable for complex buildings and campus-wide developments, where programming needs can vary so greatly. We delight in bringing the entirety of our project experience to bear in these complex building and campus designs.

We believe in a tailored approach that empowers you to embark on the master planning journey with confidence, supported by a knowledgable team that is sensitive to your organization’s unique needs and prepared to take on the challenges of feasibility, funding, and permitting.

Every organization is special, with unique operational and programming requirements. Master planning your project or site is imperative to addressing these needs early on in the design process to ensure smooth design and development. Our approach prioritizes getting to know your organization and the community you serve to better understand your goals, vision, and constraints.

Our knack for identifying and engaging key players in a process that builds consensus across stakeholders is integral to finding a balanced path that prioritizes your organizational needs and the community and mission you serve. And, with architects, interior designers, and landscape architects in-house, and an extensive network of trusted collaborators, we have the ability to consider your project holistically from the very start.

For non-profits, institutions, and community-driven businesses, having the right facilities to support their efforts can make all the difference. The built environment where they operate plays a huge role in the ability of these important organizations to meet the needs of their staff, volunteers, and the missions they serve.

Our team’s knowledge of commercial, multifamily, and civic work, and our deep experience with campus master planning gives our team a wide range of experience to bring to your project. And our focus on the technical complexities of these complicated projects allows us to consider real-world feasibility from the earliest stages of concept and visioning.

We love working with mission-driven organizations to find the path forward to developing their new buildings and campuses. By focusing on ways new and updated spaces can help them reach their goals, we’re prioritizing future good works that support our communities.
