As symbols of a civilization, institutions of all sorts - government, education and healthcare - are central to every city. EDA takes a comprehensive approach emphasizing creativity to the planning and development of new and expanding institutions. The projects begin with need assessments, programming, feasibility studies and site selection and go on to conceptual master planning, design and implementation. Town halls, libraries, airports, university and college campuses, schools, hospitals and medical research facilities are some of the projects EDA has been called to for planning and design expertise.
