Skills include: --visioning and "new start" worksessions--global and detailed programming--master planning for universities and medical schools--feasibility studies that answer a variety of "what if" questions--campus-wide classroom analysis and needs assessment--strategic planning for science facilities and campuses. She is known throughout the science and technology industry for her innovative planning techniques and her ability to facilitate communication among scientists, educators, students, administrators and facility managers. June helps her clients visualize a project, working between the macro and micro levels to ensure that once the facility is occupied, the client will be “as happy as they were when they were planning it.” June advocates the multidisciplinary design process employed by HDR because it assures the integration of complex building systems, accommodates both people and material flow safely and efficiently and creates working environments where people want to be.
