We are excited to announce that John Lewis Elementary School was a finalist in the prestigious James D. MacConnell Award sponsored by the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE)—a long-held goal of our K-12 Education practice. The MacConnell Award celebrates comprehensive projects that address a detailed and specific planning process, resulting in a facility that not only supports the educational goals of the district and needs of a community, but is also student-centered for active and dynamic learning. Click the link below to view the full video that was included as part of our award submission and presented at the LearningScapes conference in Chicago on October 15. Congratulations to the John Lewis project team! https://lnkd.in/ereAFpwy #PerkinsEastman #PerkinsEastmanDC #HumanByDesign #DesigningtheDistrict #MacConnellAwardFinalist #A4LE #EducationDesign #SchoolDesign #LearningEnvironments #Design #Architecture #DesignAwards

With one of the largest K-12 practices in the country, PBK Architects is a great source for checking in on the latest trends. Building Design+Construction Media recently chatted with Dan Boggio, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, Founder & Executive Chair, and Melissa Turnbaugh, AIA, NCARB, Partner & National Education & Innovation Leader, who reported that K-12 construction is alive and well, particularly in Texas, Calif. and Fla. where there’s been an unprecedented number of school referendums. Another major trend is school boards showing much interest in evidence-based research supporting learning. Consequently, more schools are requesting outdoor learning spaces, experiential learning environments and extra-curricular arts and sports programs and facilities—all of which have been shown to enhance learning for students. “In this environment we’re in where school boards are ready to adopt research-based design,… it’s the design community’s responsibility to harvest this research and then design accordingly. We can change the lives of students,” states Boggio. #architecture #k12design #schooldesign #engineering #outdoorlearning

Meet John Dale, author of "Designing for Change: The Open Building Model." Educational buildings need to adapt to support today’s learning and be ready to adapt to tomorrow’s learning. The deployment of Open Building strategies, as an integral part of the design process, has equipped and empowered these facilities to facilitate change. Santa Monica High School becomes a compelling model for all educational buildings, that reflect and accommodate new needs which are potentially beyond the ideas of those of us who conceived these buildings in the first place. Read the full story, appearing in the Fall edition of LBD, here: https://lnkd.in/ejuCiGhS #Adaptation #OpenBuilding #LearningEnvironments #SchoolDesign #Students #FacilitateChange Synchronis

Emma Greenland presented her first CPD of the year to the team at Innes Associates Architecture & Urban Design this week. This Lunch and Learn session delivered via TEAMS showcased our work and research on 'Improving access to listening in mainstream schools' We provide practical guidance on how schools and architects can meet their duties to anticipate the needs of children with special hearing or communication needs (shcn) in accordance with key regulations and standards using a 'reasonable' adjustments approach. It was really useful to discuss Innes' recent experience on Post Occupancy Evaluation visits with Natalia Klus, Simon Innes and Corrie-Anne Rounding, share some common watch areas for acoustics which don't fall into the normal scope of compliance, and explore ideas for efficient acoustic finishes to meet inclusive standards. Thank you for virtually hosting us and we hope you found it informative! For more information on our Lunch and Learn sessions and to book your team in follow this link:-https://lnkd.in/ePq58mEZ We can deliver a session via TEAMS if this means more colleagues can attend (particulary where you have more than one office base), otherwise we travel to you and provide lunch! #cpd #lunchandlearn #educationestates #schools #colleges #universities #architects #acousticdesign #acoustictreatments #acousticfinishes #reasonableadjustments #compliance #inclusivelistening

✨ The significance of neuro-inclusive design. One of our modulyss Talks series has shed light on the transformative potential of neuro-inclusive design in architecture. #Neurodiversity #InclusiveDesign #modulyssTalks #ArchitecturalInnovation #PositiveChange #SupportAllChildren
In these times, it’s more crucial than ever to consider the significance of neuro-inclusive design. As many parents and children receive school results, we witness the impact of supportive environments. However, difficult summer holidays filled with self-doubt don’t reflect children’s abilities; rather, they highlight society’s failure to provide adequate support. One of our modulyss Talks series has shed light on the transformative potential of neuro-inclusive design in architecture. It’s time for brands together with the A&D community to step up, innovate, and create environments where every child’s potential is not only recognized but also nurtured. Let’s champion neuro-inclusive design and make a real difference. You can read our insights and watch the talks by expert leaders Jess Meredith, Mark Ellerby and Gillian Burgis Smith at https://lnkd.in/dvp88Ej3 #Neurodiversity #InclusiveDesign #modulyssTalks #ArchitecturalInnovation #PositiveChange #SupportAllChildren

One Year Down, Infinite Horizons Ahead at UMass Amherst! It's hard to believe that two semesters have gone by since I embarked on the incredible journey of the dual M.Arch./M.RP. program at UMass Amherst. These past few months have been a whirlwind of exploration and discovery, pushing me to new heights in both design and planning. 1. Timber Triumphs & Tech Explorations: ️ 🏗 From delving into the world of mass timber construction to staying at the forefront of cutting-edge design technologies used right here in the US, the program has exposed me to a treasure trove of knowledge that's already transforming my approach to architecture. 2. Studio Spotlight: "Where Models Meet Masterminds.." 🏚 The architecture studios have been a crucible of creativity. I've honed my model-making skills to a fine art, collaborated with inspiring minds in interactive design sessions, and learned to translate ideas into tangible realities. 3. The MRP Advantage: "A Blessing in Disguise" 🙏 While the M.Arch. focuses on the intricate world of design, the MRP program has become an unexpected blessing. The integration of these two disciplines has opened my eyes to the bigger picture, allowing me to see how design and planning can work together to create truly impactful spaces. This dual degree is more than just a qualification; it's a passport to a future where I can shape not just buildings, but entire communities. Here's to the next chapter, and to all the amazing things to come! 🌟 #UMassAmherst #MArchMRP #DualDegree #Architecture #Planning #DesignThinking #FutureReady

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” - Winston Churchill, 1943 The link between intentional design and society is linear – because while architecture shapes our students, it’s the students that shape our future. And campuses worldwide are sparing no detail, specifying materials for both functionality and aesthetics. These elements breathe life into universities, building community and encouraging academic success. Don’t neglect the details.
