Treanor's Phoenix office: designing for education, justice, and community impact

Treanor’s Phoenix, Arizona office brings together a skilled team of architects committed to designing spaces that support learning, community, and public service. As experienced Phoenix architects, we focus on three key markets: justice architecture, PK-12 school architecture, and higher education. With a blend of local insight and national expertise, our Phoenix team creates environments that reflect the needs of today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.

Justice architecture: secure, humane, and future-ready

Treanor is nationally recognized for leadership in justice architecture, and our Phoenix office carries that tradition forward across Arizona and the Southwest. We design courthouses, detention centers, and public safety facilities that prioritize safety, operational efficiency, and human dignity.

Our justice projects emphasize:

  • Secure, functional layouts that improve staff and visitor safety
  • Trauma-informed and rehabilitation-focused design principles
  • Flexibility for future system and population changes
  • Civic spaces that foster trust and community connection

By blending innovation with responsibility, our Phoenix architects help communities create justice facilities that support public safety while addressing long-term social and operational goals.

School architecture: inspiring PK-12 learning environments

Education is central to Treanor’s mission, and our Phoenix team has experience in school architecture for PK-12 students. We design educational facilities that are safe, inspiring, and adaptable—spaces where teachers can excel and students can thrive.

Our approach to school architecture focuses on:

  • Flexible classrooms that support evolving teaching styles
  • Safe, secure campuses with thoughtful circulation
  • Sustainable, energy-efficient designs
  • Spaces that encourage collaboration, creativity, and engagement

From pre-school and elementary schools to large high school campuses, Treanor’s Phoenix office works closely with districts, administrators, and communities to design learning environments that support achievement today and for generations to come.

Make the biggest contribution to a better world you can, and we’ll give you the resources, time, and support you need to actually do so.

Higher education architects: building for innovation and connection

Treanor’s Phoenix office also houses talented higher education architects who collaborate with colleges, universities, and technical institutions across the region. We understand the dynamic needs of higher education and design spaces that support research, collaboration, and student success.

Some of our higher education experience includes:

  • Academic and research buildings
  • Student unions and housing
  • Specialized labs and learning centers
  • Campus site planning and master planning

By aligning institutional goals with the needs of students and faculty, our higher education architects deliver projects that are flexible, sustainable, and deeply connected to the life of the campus.
