Public facilities support the many services and functions provided by state, county, and municipal governments and are essential for the vitality of an established community. Encompassing public works facilities, libraries, and fire stations to name a few, these facilities cater to a broad range of personnel, clientele, and infrastructure needs and directly contribute to the overall quality of life of its citizens. Faced with the need to expand, renovate, or build an entirely new public facility, civic leaders know they can to turn to the professionals with Snyder & Associates to provide the “all-under-one-roof” professionalism they need.
The Snyder & Associates team understands the planning, design, and construction nuances of all public facility types and is able to meet the most demanding site challenges. These facilities are often considered difficult to site because of potential adverse impacts related to size, bulk, hazardous characteristics, noise, or public health and safety. The potential size of some essential public facilities may warrant significant environmental mitigation to protect critical habitats, aquifer recharge zones, or other environmentally sensitive areas. We have a fully-staffed team of scientists and environmental experts ready to solve the most complex siting issues. In some instances, ongoing operational needs of the facility should play a key role in site selection, as well.
We’ll strive to blend facility site design with existing architecture in the area and compatibility with adjacent land uses, all while minimizing environmental impacts and transportation concerns. When it comes to public facilities site development, Snyder & Associates delivers top-quality service and experience, working in partnership with you to meet your current and future facilities development needs. By combining our partnership approach with a broad range of services, we efficiently deliver large and small projects across the Midwest, and beyond, to help generate the return on investment you desire.
