Education

Designing high-performing educational environments

When we invest in our future, we move forward together. Our high-performing educational facilities support our greatest asset: the next generation of students who will reimagine what’s possible.

Parents want the best education for their children. Educators need well-designed and inspiring spaces to teach. Students desire choices in their learning environments, and administrators look for modern facilities that support the learning curriculum.

Building owners are looking for durable solutions that are resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective, and citizens and industry partners pursue opportunities to fully leverage available funding and resources to benefit the greater community.

To help our partners in education meet these varying expectations, we bring together our best-in-class designers, architects, planners, engineers, interior designers, and specialists to develop functional, forward-thinking, and inspiring educational facilities.

We’re parents, teachers, and students too, fully committed and personally invested in the goal of moving toward a bright future, together. We take our responsibility as a global design leader in education seriously, constantly collaborating to deliver high-performing education environments that contribute to student success, inspire learning and discovery, and ultimately create a better world.
