Cultural

Cultural institutions shoulder a significant responsibility: to celebrate, interpret and care for our most cherished cultural assets and iconic places. These are spaces where visitors immerse themselves in rich history and the wonders of science, where they lose themselves in grand performances and exquisite collections. At SmithGroup, our team of cultural specialists enhances those experiences, with holistic architectural solutions that serve your unique mission. So we come to you with an equally significant promise: to create spaces that embody your aspirations, overcome your most confounding functional challenges, enrich your community, and inspire wonder and curiosity in every visitor.
