Purpose-driven design is at the core of every project at NORR. Our collaborative approach works to integrate elements of resiliency, sustainability and inclusivity into the places and spaces we create across 12 market sectors. As a catalyst for transformation in the built environment, we take a leadership role as a pivotal change-maker to achieve common sustainable development goals.

Public Buildings

Public sector decision-makers look to NORR’s experienced team to help navigate the full project cycle from planning to design to execution. Our extensive work in public buildings ranges from government campuses and embassies to cultural buildings and museums. For more than 45 years, we continue to deliver large-scale, heritage conservation, adaptive reuse and renovation projects.
