Institutional – Solve Architects

Institutional Experience

Prior to founding Solve Architects, Andrew Edmundson worked with several consultant teams on a wide variety of institutional projects including healthcare, recreation, and education.

Working with architecture firms in different roles, Andrew has participated in the development of over one million square feet of institutional architecture. Much of this project experience was under compressed schedules requiring continual synthesis of feedback from owners, user groups, and consulting engineers. Bringing this experience to Solve Architects means that Solve can iterate quickly on design while simultaneously advancing the technical work required to get the project built properly.
