Workshop Architects is an architecture and interior design and firm specializing in student union planning and design. The team at Workshop creates vibrant social spaces rooted in and reflecting the values of the communities they serve. They are unique in that they balance the professionalism and capability of a large firm with the flexibility and character of a boutique firm.

At the core of Workshop’s worldview is a deep respect for the experience, intelligence, and insight of users. Workshop builds consensus with skillful facilitation, highly effective tools, and superior design expertise. Matched with Workshop’s rigorous quantitative and qualitative approach, this capability produces spaces that reflect client’s highest aspirations, enhance who they already are, and offer guideposts for who they will become. 

While many firms begin a design process predetermining how a building should look, Workshop begins with how people should feel when in it. It means listening deeply to how people want to feel when they are in a space and designing around the highest aspirations they express. In short, Workshop designs “from the inside out.”
