Preserving the past is a delicate process that demands careful planning and a deep understanding of architectural, cultural and historical nuances. Every historic building tells a story, reflecting the craftsmanship, values and identities of the people who built and used it. Because of their age, these buildings often require much care and attention. In our latest #IndustryInsight, Michelle Sacco Cunliffe and Scotney Fenton, AIA, discuss the importance and role of Historic Structure Reports in guiding restoration, reuse and long-term stewardship. https://loom.ly/57VC2sA

Take a look at the Mesa County Early Childhood Center at Clifton Campus in Colorado! This 13-acre campus, nestled into the valley of the Western Slope between an elementary school and a residential neighborhood, draws its aesthetic from the colors and striations in the local landscape. The new Clifton Early Childhood Education Center provides high-quality childcare for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years and care for older children when school is not in session. Each of the 12 classrooms has direct access to outdoor learning environments designed for age-appropriate play and exploration.  https://loom.ly/w9GXcTY

As we close the chapter on 2024, we're grateful for another year of collaboration and trust with our clients and partners. Cheers to a New Year of innovation and meaningful creations. Happy 2025 from all of us at RDG Planning & Design!

Color breathes life into design, transforming spaces into stories and moments into memories. Today, as we look to the future, we're reflecting and celebrating design, creativity and memories from past and present.

As we look to the future, several global challenges stand out: an aging population, the imperative to care for people's health and well-being, and the increasing need to reduce our impact on the planet. In this #IndustryInsight, RDG's Brent Wollenburg explores how we address the 2030 Sustainability Challenge through senior living design. Brent takes a deep dive into senior living-specific strategies that extend beyond comfort zones to look at lifecycle costs, embodied carbon and the impact on the triple bottom line. https://loom.ly/5RBHWeY
