Summer is almost here, and that means it is finally time to get outside and enjoy these spaces the way they were meant to be used. From pools to patios, our outdoor amenity designs create places to relax, connect, and make the most of the season.

Public buildings today face a complex challenge: how do you create spaces that feel open and welcoming while also addressing evolving safety concerns?

In our latest blog, Janell Arehart, Project Manager and Sr. Interior Designer at MA Design, explores how thoughtful design strategies can balance security, resilience, and community connection without making spaces feel fortified.

Great design begins with listening.

Focus groups are an essential part of our design process because they allow us to hear directly from the people who will use these spaces every day. Their insights help us better understand workflows, challenges, priorities, and the experiences that matter most.

By engaging users early, we’re able to create environments that are not only functional and efficient, but welcoming, supportive, and truly centered around the people they serve.

The best spaces are designed with people, not just for them.

Our Culture and Belonging Committee brings a little extra fun to the office with MA Smallidays, a monthly tradition where we celebrate the small (and sometimes silly) national holidays that make the workday a little brighter. From snacks to games and everything in between, it is all about taking a moment to connect and enjoy the day together 🧡

In senior living design, “playing it safe” can sometimes create more cost, complexity, and long-term operational burden than necessary.

Our latest blog by Susan Hinz, Studio Lead - Senior Living & Affordable Housing, explores how overdesign happens, why clear code intent matters, and how thoughtful, precise application of building code can improve efficiency, reduce compliance challenges, and support better long-term outcomes for owners and operators.

It’s an important conversation for anyone involved in assisted living and long-term care projects.

A well-designed space can make someone feel seen.

From workplaces to healthcare environments, Mother’s Rooms are one way we help support nursing moms with comfort, privacy, and a moment of calm during busy days.

Because motherhood looks different for everyone, we’re grateful for every opportunity to design spaces that support people in meaningful ways.

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all who nurture, support, and care for others 🌷

At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center James Outpatient Care Center, our team supported the future of cancer care through multiple projects focused on advanced imaging and nuclear medicine.

From planning for next-generation image-guided radiotherapy technologies to expanding nuclear medicine services with new PET CT capabilities, these projects were designed to enhance patient care, improve workflow, and support cutting-edge treatment.

Working within an active healthcare environment, our team carefully coordinated design and phasing to maintain operations while creating spaces that meet evolving clinical needs.

Steelton Village continues to take shape on Columbus’ South Side, bringing new energy to a once-industrial site along South High Street.

As highlighted by NBC4 Columbus, the next phase will introduce hundreds of new residential units as part of a larger vision to create a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood that blends housing, work, and entertainment. We’re proud to be part of a project that is transforming underutilized land into a connected, community-focused destination designed for how people live today.
