Academic Institutions have a long-term commitment to their facilities - they provide the physical evidence of the institution's Mission and Values. These facilities also provide a strong connection between students, faculty, and alumni. This environment is dynamic, a place of constant change, emerging needs and new initiatives. It is the nature of a successful institution.

MSKTD & Associates, Inc. has been actively engaged in planning, programming, design and construction of Academic Institutions for over twenty years.

Under the leadership of Gary Voirol, we have a dedicated group of professionals - including a former university campus planner - on staff whose primary focus is college/university projects. We belong to associations that serve the college and university community - the (IAPPA) Indiana Association of Physical Plant Administrators, (SCUP) Society of College and University Planners, and (ICI) Independent Colleges of Indiana, as well as other support organizations.
