## Capabilities

- [Architecture](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/architecture/) - We create highly functional, beautiful spaces that are more than brick and mortar – spaces that foster human interaction, discovery, and deep connection. We love design that’s inspired and creative, but we also know how it should be built. Our highly qualified team balances the need for effective design and reliable engineering. Whether it’s an innovative learning space, or even a commitment to safety and wellness, we bring many types of designs to reality at the highest level.
- [Programming](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/programming/) - Our objective with every building project is to create a space that serves its purpose and is also functional, code compliant, and flexible enough to meet future challenges. In programming, we work closely with our clients and stakeholders to define and maximize the rooms or spaces as they relate to budget, equipment needs, furnishings, and how the spaces will be used. We address the immediate space requirements of a project as well as the overall needs of a department or building.
- [Interior Design](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/interior-design/) - While architecture promotes interaction, design promotes inspiration. Whether learning, healing, or living, people thrive when they become engaged with their environment and with one another. Through concept design, finishes, furniture, custom millwork, and color selection, we are able to create an inspiring human experience throughout all aspects of a building project.
- [Fixtures Furniture & Equipment](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/fixtures-furniture-equipment/) - We work directly with our clients to identify all elements required for a project. By also assisting designers, contractors, vendors, and construction administration, our involvement offers the client seamless coordination of space and specification planning, as well as ordering, delivery, and installation of equipment. This has proven to be a valuable service for clients with complex programming requirements, reducing downtime, and increasing the quality of the facility.
- [Environmental Graphics](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/environmental-graphics/) - With infinite opportunities toward a goal of sensory engagement, we create flexible environments for the exchange of ideas, adaptive technology, and visual excitement. The built environment is the user's temporary home. A space should cultivate a sense of comfort, community, and inspiration. The special elements that make up any building should encourage the staff and the user to champion these senses, and to be a tool for them to serve themselves and one another.
- [Building Assessment](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/building-assessment/) - Not every new building project is a fresh start, rather sometimes we take the old and make it new. This may be a remodel of an old building, renovation of a retail space, or a restoration of a historic site. As many of our clients need to reinvest in their existing physical properties, we help them get the best return on their investment through an extensive assessment process. By developing architectural and structural simulated models, we can intelligently analyze every building component and requirement for a successful project.
- [Project Management](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/project-management/) - Our entire process is built around you, so we can make sure we put the best team together to uniquely meet your needs, give you the highest level of service and communication, and foster long-term partnerships beyond project closure. We make sure our designs are properly executed from start to finish, within a reasonable timeframe and by honoring the budget. As a project team consists of many parties with their own unique contributions, we tie them all together to accomplish a singular goal.
- [Construction Administration](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/construction-administration/) - From vision to completion, we are able to ensure that every aspect of a project is executed to the highest standard. Our construction administration team provides quality assurance throughout the construction process in order to meet and exceed expectations for your investment. We help develop and enforce construction contracts and work closely with contractors to establish budgets, timelines, and quality control. As every project comes with its challenges, we are able to address unforeseen circumstances and conflicts in order to keep the project successful.
- [Master Planning](https://novusarchitects.com/capabilities/master-planning/) - By understanding our client’s vision, we bring it to reality through an extensive evaluation of the site characteristics that define the pathway for long-term success. We explore the logistical feasibility of a site with respect to parking, traffic, utilities, zoning, and many other factors that affect its viability. Our master planning process helps us assess the layout of the buildings and their environment to achieve the goals developed in collaboration with the client, delivering the highest standard and best use of the property.

## Industries

- [Healthcare](https://novusarchitects.com/industry/healthcare/) - We design a wide variety of healthcare environments that consider the patient experience, including treatment, healing, and care. With extremely complex requirements, we continue to strengthen our understanding of medical culture, procedures, and equipment. These spaces are not only highly functional, efficient, and adaptable, they also balance patient privacy and safety in an environment that fosters growth and recovery.
- [Education](https://novusarchitects.com/industry/education/) - The users of the space require a comfortable gathering area to create, to explore, to exchange ideas, and, at its core, to learn. The potential a school or library holds is limitless. More than just a space for education, these venues should be inviting to people who crave a sense of community and learning. They should also provide a flexible environment that fosters engagement, adaptive technology, and infinite opportunities for learning at any age.
- [Commercial](https://novusarchitects.com/industry/commercial/) - Our commercial building expertise includes a wide range of building types that include Retail, Office and Hospitality. That means we can address a variety of needs and special considerations, such as dynamic interiors and engaging features, for just about any location. Our proficiency with commercial spaces comes from a studied understanding of people and how they interact with one another and their environments.
- [Multi-Family](https://novusarchitects.com/industry/multi-family/) - Safety, privacy, and comfort are all important aspects of every home. In a multi-family property, emphasizing these factors is critically important, while also balancing the benefits of community and amenities. We build communities that provide a delicate balance between neighbor interaction and individual comfort, giving tenants the intimacy of home and the shared experience of living.
- [Faith-Based](https://novusarchitects.com/industry/faith-based/) - Architecture for ministry is vital to conveying your ministry style and mission and how that will be experienced by your members and the community. We listen, observe, and tailor our design approach to the unique purpose of your church. With projects ranging from historical to contemporary styles, we are able to employ all the tools of architecture to create environments that are both welcoming and accommodating to the needs of your congregation.
- [Industrial](https://novusarchitects.com/industry/industrial/) - Industrial design centers on optimization; streamlining processes while simultaneously meeting or exceeding industry regulation and supporting safe work environments for its employees. Functionality drives the design of every building, but each industrial project presents its own set of unique challenges. While considerations of workflow, safety, and regulatory compliance never change, technology is always evolving. Optimizing the output of these industrial spaces requires creative solutions. We shape our designs to create a space that is not only compliant, but sustainable, adaptable, and functional.
