Core offering

DeJONG-RICHTER is a nationally recognized educational facility planning firm that provides professional consulting services to K-12 school districts, state education agencies, and international education systems. Its core offerings include facility master planning, educational specifications, enrollment projections (powered by its proprietary S.T.E.P. software), GIS mapping, capacity analysis, and facility assessments, all delivered through structured community-engagement processes that help districts make data-driven capital and facility decisions.

Product overview

DeJONG-RICHTER is an educational facility planning firm that offers six interconnected core services. Facility Master Planning serves as the primary strategic framework, supported by Educational Specifications for detailed program requirements and Capacity Analysis for understanding facility utilization. Enrollment Projections, powered by the proprietary S.T.E.P. software developed with The Ohio State University, provides forecasting data that feeds into planning decisions. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capabilities, leveraging ESRI ArcGIS/ArcView technology, enable spatial analysis and boundary planning. Facility Assessments evaluate physical and educational adequacy conditions. These services work together to help school districts develop comprehensive facility plans incorporating demographics, educational vision, facility condition, and financial data.
