Cultural Facilities

Culture reflects who we are as a society. VHB partners with a wide array of cultural institutions to celebrate, communicate, and share core aspects of our diverse culture—beliefs, art, music, and collective thoughts. We use our real world understanding to deliver creative, practical solutions that address the critical influences impacting the planning and design of cultural facilities so that they can focus on positively impacting the world.
