<br />Corley Redfoot Architects is a long - established architectural and design
<br />firm headquartered in Orange County, offering architecture, civil
<br />engineering, and construction administration services. For over 30 years,
<br />Corley Redfoot Architects has been providing design services in the public
<br />re alm. Clients have included state universities, and governments at the
<br />municipal, county and state levels - including Orange County Government
<br />projects such as the Southern Human Services Center and the John M. Link,
<br />Jr Orange County Government Services Center. Designing in the public
<br />realm is different than working for a private entity in numerous ways. Public
<br />w )rk requires a much more open, inclusive process throughout the design
<br />process. It also requires a long -term perspective and an emphasis on using
<br />public funds wisely and efficiently.
<br />C 2A has led master planning efforts on man y local public projects including
<br />C lapel Hill's Town Operations Center, Durham Tech's Orange County
<br />Campus and NCSU's Recreational Sports Master Plan. On each of these
<br />projects, input from many different stakeholders was essential to producing a
<br />responsive and effective solution. From elected officials to interested
<br />citizens to neighbors of the site in question, a master plan needs to address
<br />issues at all levels. For many years, CRA has worked in this fashion, being
<br />ir. clusive of all voices and being responsive to the issues and concerns
<br />provided. Public institutions need to build for the long term and be good
<br />stewards of public funds. An effective master plan will provide the
<br />parameters for development into the future while also giving flexibility
<br />should those parameters change over time. CRA has used these basic
<br />ps•inciples as the basis of its master planning and design work in the public
<br />realm.
