Technology Can Enable Great Things

At Perkins&Will, design, technology and research converge, empowering us to create places that improve how we live and work. To continue our tradition of being at the forefront of innovative design, we make focused investments in applied research and technology to solve our clients’ complex challenges. Researching and exploring drives our ability to deliver extraordinary ideas and buildings, exceeding our client’s aspirations. Our culture of applied innovation is supported by Micro-Grants for staff, dedicated Research Groups, and a Digital Practice Team, working together to create a rapid process of idea to solution.

The Digital Practice Team works across all studios and practices to ensure the latest innovations from across the firm are applied to our high-performing, interdisciplinary design process. We promote integrated design and advanced coordination supported by Building Information Modeling. Through creating and applying digital tools we advance the way we work, improve quality, and accelerate the project delivery processes.
