Creating ‘The Big Idea’
Crawford Architects and its principals have an impressive track record of developing the ‘big-idea’ in a manner that will fully meet the aspirations of our clients while future-proofing the design through innovation and comprehensive planning. The ability to create landmark designs is critical to creating projects that are feasible, yet fully integrated and cohesive in terms of functionality and operations.
Our Approach
We pride ourselves on connecting with our clients at a level that engenders trust. We’ll listen and ask questions in order to understand your needs and deliver the right solutions. This is what’s led us to delivering many of the most challenging projects in the industry – all with the solitary goal of advancing our clients’ success through excellence in design. Our approach starts with a conversation, so let’s have one!
As an athletic director, I’ve worked on five projects with Crawford Architects including three training facilities. Not once did I feel like I was on the clock. They are so passionate about what they do.

P3 Delivery
Crawford Architects has emerged as a leading expert in public-private partnerships (P3 delivery). Our team has been involved in P3 work from California to Australia. The 2020 Project at the University of California, Merced has set the standard for P3 throughout the U.S. There’s no question that social infrastructure must continually improve to meet the needs of today and the economic development needs of tomorrow. Unfortunately, there simply aren’t enough resources to meet all of our needs with the current funding and delivery methods. One of the alternative avenues to access capital is by utilizing a Public-Private Partnership (P3) delivery method. This model leverages limited public funds with private investment and expertise without compromising quality, functionality, flexibility, and sustainability.
So, what is Public-Private Partnership (P3)? It is a contractual agreement between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a private sector entity. Through this agreement, the skills and assets of each sector (public and private) are shared in delivering a facility or service for the use of the general public. In addition to the sharing of resources, each party shares in the risks and rewards potential in the delivery of the facility and/or service.
