We are currently searching for a Principal to join our Philadelphia office to lead a team focused on the planning and design of exceptional spaces for colleges, universities, and commercial science. These places inspire students to learn, researchers to discover; they are spaces that promote curiosity and allow communities to thrive. The successful candidate will work with architects, engineers, and other design professionals as part of a collaborative interdisciplinary team. We are an employee-owned, expertise-driven practice that balances deep technical knowledge with the highest degree of creativity to produce award-wining design.
We design facilities that foster discovery and support life-changing scientific advances. We believe that at the root of all good design is an understanding of human behavior, and how the physical environment can affect these behaviors.
We are consistently ranked #1 in Science and Technology and have been recognized by the industry's Lab of the Year program 11 times for designing facilities in which world-class scientists can discover cures for insidious diseases, create new sources of clean energy, protect our resources, and improve public health; all of which helps to enrich people’s lives around the world. Seamlessly integrating our science and education expertise, we are leading the transformation of learning environments at the world’s top academic institutions to better prepare the next generation’s leaders.
