Additional Services from ADA include the items listed here.

Feasibility Studies: Once a need is imagined, these studies investigate the abilities to meet the need and they establish how to get there.
Master Plans: These take the imagined need and fully establish the site, building, financial and regulatory parameters.
Facility Analysis: Aging building can be evaluated for continued use. Existing buildings can be analyzed for renovation and/or addition, as well as for repurposing.

More and more often, as clients express a need, our response is "We can work with you to do that!"

Needs Analysis: Long-range analysis of future needs. This could also be described as a services master plan.
Visualization: Using 3-D tools to quickly analyze and/or suggest planned additions or renovations.
