Innovation & Creativity

Gilbert Architects believes that a school building design must include effective and relative architectural solutions that come from insight, creativity and invention pursued with patience that is grounded in research and expertise.

We continually seek new paths and direction in the architectural designs we do and the tools we use, including investing in sustainable and green architecture. We recognize that every place is unique and form responsive approaches that are distinctly suited to each community.

We promote a strong ethic of sustainability and stewardship, advocating innovative environmental strategies throughout the practice.

Collaboration & Understanding

We gain momentum in our work through depth of understanding and draw strength from connections with, and our commitments to, the talented people with whom we collaborate. We enjoy the work we do every day and are committed to a collective atmosphere of openness, trust and respect throughout our office and our process.

We are dedicated to an enriching, healthy and fulfilling work environment that, in many ways, is emblematic of our best thinking about learning by doing and teaching by mentoring.

School Building Design Excellence & Meaning

We strive for timeless architectural designs of sites and buildings that have a self-evident fit with their surroundings, are carefully attuned to their use and contribute to making a lasting, supportive and memorable place.
