Campus Design
Our team is experienced in the planning and design of campuses for a variety of institutional and educational facilities. These facilities have diverse and specific needs that often change over time. We strive to create spaces that will be reliable yet dynamic and withstand the test of time both in safety and in style.
CMA has designed and assisted in the construction management of dozens of healthcare facilities including brand new hospitals, additions, emergency rooms, medical office buildings, long-term acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, helipad designs, and American with Disability Act (ADA) accessible routes. Our team understands the unique challenges that are encountered in the development of healthcare facilities. We are familiar with Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) requirements and understand the specific needs of healthcare site design such as special access requirements, ADA accessibility, water system redundancy, special floodplain considerations, central energy plant availability, utility corridors as well as special lift station designs and the use of macerators to handle conditions only present in hospitals.
CMA understands what is required when it comes to providing design services for K-12 and higher education campuses. Our team has worked on multimillion dollar improvements to infrastructure and public spaces for educational facilities. We make certain that as individual facilities are developed that they make sense with campus master plans and that these facilities are designed with the capacity to accommodate future growth and capital improvements in order to minimize or eliminate rework of installed infrastructure. Throughout the many master planning projects, parking lot modifications, utility and roadway upgrades, athletic field improvements, student housing, and open space projects we have completed, we have come to understand that the most critical component for success is to work within the academic calendar, providing design and permitting when the campus is heavily populated, and construction services when students are away on break. Our professional staff stay current with the newest trends and design concerns for higher education and K-12 in Florida.
Redevelopment
With undeveloped sites becoming less common and a bigger push for density and revitalization, CMA is at the forefront of site redevelopment, providing services for several Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRA). Our team is familiar with the incentives, rules, and exemptions that facilitate site redevelopment.
Our extensive land redevelopment portfolio allows us to provide innovative and out-of-the-box solutions when working within the constraints of an existing site. Redevelopment frequently requires the upgrade to infrastructure, for which we offer our expertise in donation water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, roadway improvements, and stormwater design and permitting expertise. We also provide detailed site design for redevelopment, including CRA owned properties that are being converted to affordable housing or commercial space of which the CRA will retain control.
Hospitality
CMA has been involved in hospitality projects throughout the world. Our team has developed unique design solutions for hotels, time shares, resorts, and private estates in exclusive locations. Beyond living accommodations, our projects have incorporated supporting facilities for boating, diving, equestrian, golf, tennis, and numerous other recreational activities. We deliver unique themes and design solutions appropriate to the project site.
Right from the beginning, our process involves establishing objectives with our clients and developing their program as a partner. We develop a thorough understanding of a site’s physical constraints and potential. We gain knowledge of the local real estate market and cultural conditions and develop a multi-disciplinary team of local and regional consultants to assist in the permitting process. Our team then develops a vision together that is appropriate to the site and current market conditions. Our designs incorporate indigenous materials and respect the local environment to create projects that are sustainable and provide lasting value to the end users.
Transit Oriented Development & Mixed-Use
The renaissance of the “live-work-play” lifestyle goes hand in hand with the surge of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and mixed-use development. TOD refers to developments located within the immediate vicinity of transit, such as a train station. TODs are frequently mixed-use, combining office, residential, and retail uses within one or a series of multi-story buildings.
CMA has extensive experience in these realms, including TODs associated with Brightline in Florida. With higher density developments, such as TOD and mixed use, our approach includes full collaboration with the architect and developer to allow for operations and services, such as deliveries, solid waste services, rideshares, and seamless integration with transit and multi-modal facilities.
Furthermore, with ground level activation, such as restaurant and retail CMA integrates strategic flood protection and stormwater design with site grading to create resilient and accessible uses throughout the development.
