WithersRavenel is expanding its Design+Planning services with a stronger focus on education and healthcare markets. Our experienced team is ready to help clients create and enhance spaces that inspire learning, promote healing, and strengthen communities.
Education
We design flexible, technology-rich, and sustainable environments that support diverse learning styles and student well-being. Our approach integrates outdoor learning areas, nature-inspired and biophilic design, and wellness-focused amenities that foster collaboration, equity, and inclusion.
Healthcare
We prioritize empathetic, sustainable spaces that connect people to nature and support the healing process—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our landscapes incorporate native plantings, accessible walking paths, calming views, and thoughtful wayfinding to serve patients, families, and staff alike.
The Design+Planning team is already known for delivering vibrant civic, mixed-use, and amenity-rich spaces. By combining data-driven insights with stakeholder engagement, we craft designs that are functional, memorable, and reflective of community goals.
“Education and healthcare are two pillars of every thriving community,” said Courtney Landoll, PLA, ASLA, Practice Area Lead of Design+Planning. “Every project is an opportunity to create spaces that inspire learning, healing, and connection.”
This growth also follows the addition of Cindy Hoffman, PLA, to our team. With more than 25 years of experience in campus and urban design, Cindy strengthens our ability to deliver thoughtful, effective solutions for the unique challenges of education and healthcare environments.
If you have an upcoming education or healthcare project, we’d love to bring your vision to life. Contact us today to start the conversation.
