About: Learning By Design > The Judges
|
From exposed ceiling components and sustainable landscapes to small learning communities and high-tech classrooms, educational facility design is reaching new heights as it strives to keep pace with the needs and goals of today’s students.
As you’ll see in this 2006 edition of Learning By Design, hallways aren’t just for foot traffic—they’re small learning areas in and of themselves; and the landscapes aren’t just for beautifying the campus—they’re gathering places for students to interact and learn from each other.
|
Illustrated by the outstanding school and university projects, excellence in educational facility design and construction continues to be one of the most powerful ways to support learning and prepare students for the future.
Learning By Design is a valuable resource for school administrators, college and university presidents, school board members, facility planning managers, school business officials, and all those who have a role in creating exceptional learning environments for students throughout the country.
