With deep experience in facility planning, legislative advocacy, and communications, Suzanne leads MOREgroup’s Planning team, monitors the progress of bills that could impact client initiatives, and streamlines the flow of messaging to our Client Communications team. She believes that planning facilities for practices as varied as education, healthcare, and civic is more than a matter of programming spaces—it’s about being fluent in the language and nuances of each. To that end, she cultivates collaboration and crossover between our national network of planning experts, empowering them to tailor services to our clients, their industries, and the communities they serve.
Suzanne’s work in legislative advocacy and change management forms a crucial part of her tailored approach to planning. She leads our efforts to stay abreast of legislation that could affect our clients’ work, enabling our project teams to keep them informed and positioned for success. And when innovative designs mandate changes in instruction, process, or operations, she leads the development of guidebooks and other user-friendly fidelity measures that empower stakeholders to leverage the full potential of their new facilities.
For Suzanne, architecture’s greatest impact for communities resides in the opportunity it creates. Play-based instruction in early learning centers opens young minds to future vocation, innovative treatments at healthcare facilities provide patients and families with renewed leases on life, community centers connect fellow citizens in shared interests that yield friendships and open doors—and well-planned design makes it all possible.
