Well-designed school facilities support teachers
Education of our youth is foundational to building communities and creating an informed and civil society.
Humanizing environments create enjoyable learning
Two fundamental design factors enable the success of our PreK-12 schools: clearly organized, efficient building plans and sections that improve supervision and wayfinding, and architectural character that is conducive to learning and enjoyment. These simple devices speak to the human experience. School is about more than technology, curricula, and test scores, especially in the age of two-income families and single parenthood. It’s about connecting with each other and the community, and together shaping our children’s formative years socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
Early-childhood education: a good place to start
The ages from 3 to 6 are a “magically” profound time when physical and social development place them on the cusp between dependent toddlers and self-sufficient individuals. This rapid evolution requires teachers to be specially trained and focused on daily life skills, very different from caring for infants or instructing upper elementary students. Although the learning environments are specially sized and equipped, they should be intuitive and simple to use so that teachers spend their time focused on the children and not re-arranging the room.
