Public facilities face special fiscal and physical planning limitations. The ability to understand the funding options, statutory requirements and strategic facilities placement helps maximize public tax dollars. Many times master planning for infrastructure involves working through a politically heated process. Wikstrom’s sound analysis and experience with public outreach can help gain consensus.

Wikstrom was hired to determine the feasibility of relocating the main Utah State Prison. Wikstrom has master planned school districts ranging in enrollment of 1,000 to 76,000 and those alternatively facing rapid growth requiring bonding for new facilities and those dealing with school closures. We have addressed the difficult issues related to splitting school districts. Wikstrom has been retained by Universities to plan research parks and innovative transit-oriented joint development sites. We have also master planned multiple-campus community colleges.

Wikstrom has planned statewide office needs for most state functions in Utah and we have evaluated the most cost effective means of financing state-owned office buildings. Additionally, we created the basis for equitably pricing leases for courts facilities in rural locations.
