Campus Planning & Architecture
Designing the Future of Higher Education, One Campus at a Time
Shape the spaces where mission meets momentum. Our higher education campus planning and architecture services align vision, design, and strategy to help every student—and every square foot—thrive.
Our Approach
We begin with people, not blueprints. Carnegie’s collaborative process brings together presidents, trustees, finance leaders, and campus stakeholders to align physical planning, campus experience, and institutional strategy.
The result is an actionable roadmap that helps institutions create environments that reflect their mission, strengthen their brand promise, and support student belonging for years to come.
Credo Design Architects is now the Campus Planning & Architecture team at Carnegie, bringing decades of higher education planning leadership into this process.
Revitalizing Campus Spaces Builds Community and Catalyzes Growth
The University of the Ozarks launched a strategic plan to enrich student life, strengthen connections with its community, and reverse more than a decade of declining enrollment.
Featured Campus Planning and Architecture Case Study
“The genius of our master plan with Carnegie is that it was drawn in pencil, not stone. It set a vision but gave us the flexibility to adapt. That’s why, a decade later, we’re still right on track and able to seize opportunities as they come.”
Richard L. Dunsworth
