Urban planning and issues related to resource allocation is common to many clients and owners. Problem solving represents a synthesis of intensive interviews, discussions, observation and research into the unique requirements of each programmatic element, as well as an awareness of the realities of development in a particular geographic area. Meetings with the community become an important part of the necessary research to develop a cohesive plan for a particular area. We draw upon a network of engineers, environmental experts and market consultants to provide specialized services as they are required.

Of particular interest is our emphasis and experience in feasibility planning. As a regular practice, Gruzen Samton leads an interdisciplinary team focused on problem definition and solution. Virtually all of our projects begin with the feasibility phase. These include major development projects, urban design studies and land use studies as well as individual buildings.

Gruzen Samton is recognized as a national leader in campus master planning, facilities programming and design. We bring a team planning approach to our campus work whereby we seek to address issues of access, circulation, land use, and open space as rigorously as we program academic and support buildings. We often lead a multi-disciplinary team of professionals assembled to meet the unique needs of each campus. We see planning as critically important to the long-range functioning of each campus.
