Educational facilities should respond to the changing needs of 21st century learners.  In order to realize substantive changes in the design of new school facilities, architects must reach beyond the norms of past designs. At French Associates, we believe that educators and students offer the best perspective on shaping their facilities. Our collaborative approach to the programming and design of educational facilities helps make flexible and innovative learning environments a reality.



 

 

We design municipal buildings that respond to the individual and unique needs of each of the communities we serve. Our design approach to this building type is to listen intently to the specific needs of the user group(s) and provide solutions that meet all of their functional requirements as well as the civic and political goals that each governmental entity sets forth. This building type includes City and Township Halls, Police Stations, Fire Stations and Judicial Centers.




We design healthcare facilities that are responsive to the needs of its customers, and enhance the brand identity of the healthcare provider.  Design and planning decisions are based on a variety of information sources including research and evaluations of other functioning facilities. The built environment for the healthcare facility includes the site and landscape design, the building architecture and the interior environment.  It reflects an understanding of how its customers will use the facility.  The customers of the healthcare facility are the staff, the patients, their families and friends, and the community.
