At Chiang | O’Brien Architects, our practice is focused on working with institutions of higher education to create spaces that support the student experience. We understand that work on academic campuses requires a deep sensitivity to the culture and heritage of the institution—good design is the ability to integrate well-crafted architecture into the existing and ever-evolving social and physical landscape of a campus. More about us.

Each of our team members takes a great personal interest in the culture and traditions of the organizations and institutions with which they work. By immersing ourselves in an institution’s culture and engaging with our client representatives, the optimal design solutions are achieved. This approach assures that every Chiang | O’Brien project achieves the specific goals and aspirations for each institution and organization. View our projects.

Our approach to planning, organizing, and managing projects has developed from decades of experience working with higher education institutions. Conversations with stakeholders and administrative leaders form the basis of our design process whether it is for a programming study, renovation, addition, or new construction. What we do.
