AN EVOLUTION
Established in 1992 to redefine the roll
of the public sector architect, StudioGC
pioneered a collaborative method that
has transformed the way civic projects
are accomplished. From elementary to
secondary schools, libraries to recreation
centers, public safety to higher education,
StudioGC’s approach values client and
community relationships as much as the
physical needs of a project.

EXPERIENCE
CLIENT SERVICES
At StudioGC, we believe architecture is essentially about people and
experience, not bricks and mortar. Our working model, developed over
nearly 20 years of practice, values client and community relationships as
much as it does the physical needs of a project. Our approach emphasizes involvement, communication and consensus, consciously nurturing a
collaborative alliance with our clients and their constituents.
We actively assume a public role at board meetings, strategize bond and
referendum offerings, and facilitate community forums to help stakeholders understand the scope of their design projects, as well as the
breadth of options based on budget and space parameters.
StudioGC’s commitment to the public sector reaches beyond our
projects to include our personal involvement with various school and
community boards. This experience has proven invaluable to our ability
to successfully serve clients, helping us to understand the full spectrum
of issues, challenges and needs fundamental to civic work.
