Campus

   Design

Brook McIlroy has produced over fifty Campus Master Plans, Master Plan Updates, and implementation studies for post-secondary institutions.

Our focus is on sustainable, innovative, and sophisticated Campus Plans that respond to a variety of contexts to optimize academic outcomes and support student wellbeing. These plans are both aspirational and achievable, often translating to built work that enhance campus life.
