Valued Partner at All Levels of Government
NORR is a valued partner at all levels of government – federal, state, provincial, county and municipal. Our proven track record in large-scale, heritage conservation, adaptive reuse and renovation projects spans more than 45 years. We uphold internal governance practices, employ proven program and project management methodologies and use value-based design from concept to implementation. We have worked on highly secure projects involving confidential documentation and when required, have engaged advisory boards or peer reviews. Every project has a specific strategy based on requirements and vision.
Managing Complexity
Public building design is a Center of Excellence at NORR. Our designated team of designers has deep knowledge in managing the complexity of purpose-driven design. From current circulation and constraints of an existing spatial environment to detailed project phasing and staging, to the design of new structures and implementation of workplace strategies, our programs will provide the right solution. Our role is to engage our clients and stakeholders to realize the project vision. The result: a design that makes a positive social impact on the communities served.
