PK-12 EDUCATION
Schools today are shifting from a one size fits all model to student-centered educational practices. We work with clients to understand this shift and the importance of balancing individual learning styles, advancing technologies, and the need for flexibility in the teaching environment. We have completed over 200 PK-12 projects nationwide including 400,000 sf new build schools to 1,000 sf feasibility studies. Through our experience working with public and private schools, we can provide our clients a big picture view of major trends in the market.
