How can we use research to evaluate and design learning environments that fully support a District’s specific mission, vision, and philosophy of instruction? Together, with the Wauwatosa School District, we asked that question. From programmatic needs to belonging, our research explores how to rate spaces beyond traditional space adequacy measures and then provides design specifications to guide long-range facilities planning and implementation. We’ll share the full case study at EDspaces 2025, but here’s a glimpse of what’s ahead: https://lnkd.in/gbb4i5uz
