The capabilities, expertise, and professionalism demonstrated by your team served to reinforce our trust in your company and have earned the respect of campus leadership. The success of the Hodges Hall renovation, as well as other outstanding campus projects, validates the long-term relationship that OSUN and COTC have had with The Collaborative for more than 20 years.

The Collaborative represents both who we are and the way we function. As a group of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and planners, we support an interactive design process.

We share the conviction that problem solving and design excellence are the products of many people, in different disciplines, working together with the client. We believe teamwork is an attitude, and a willingness to share in the creative process.

Client Testimonial

One of the things I admire most about The Collaborative is their meticulous attention to detail. They have an uncanny ability to take our district’s dreams for this school and turn them into a reality. Through their careful planning and design, they’ve captured the essence of what we want for our students and community, ensuring that every space in the school is not just functional, but inspiring and aligned with our vision for the future.
