Creating Spaces for Community

If you want an architect who recognizes the important role your school district plays in your community, hire us. At Veritas we understand that life happens in your school buildings. Not just teaching and learning, but growing a strong foundation of community.

As the steward of your community, it’s not even your money. You realize it’s more than that. It’s the money that your peers, neighbors and family have entrusted to you to use wisely to benefit their children. What an incredible responsibility. What to cut, what to keep, what to change? What will provide the absolute best education for our students in your district for your community?

Future generations will be reaping what is sown within this generation of students. The spaces in which your students learn matter. The right spaces foster learning, provides a better environment for teachers, and other goals that are specific to your District. These goals are what drive our efforts. We’re here to support your community and your goals.

At Veritas we specialize in rural districts. We love the challenge of weaving design with the needs of the overall community while serving an educational purpose.

As architects, we have the depth and breadth of knowledge in many facets of the building process that individual contractors may not. We see the big picture and are able to manage the process of projects big or small by leveraging relationships we have with our most trusted construction partners.

We keep our egos well in check and don’t aim only for the glamorous and hi-profile projects. We want to be in the trenches with you as you navigate some of the basic aspects of maintaining your rural educational facilitates. Veritas strives to be a long-term partner within the communities we serve – we hope you’ll think of us as an extension of your trusted team.
