Are you a stakeholder in a private/independent school? Does your congregation operate a school? The James Company is co-sponsoring a valuable webinar series titled Transform Your Learning Spaces: Why and How to Start. Focused on design and construction for Independent Schools, this 3-session webinar will provide valuable insights for school leaders and stakeholders who may be considering the possibility of a school building expansion/renovation project in the near future.
The educational landscape is ever evolving. Learning happens in many ways, and no longer is the classroom constrained by four walls. Today, learning is found throughout a school from unique collaboration areas, student commons, library media centers, or any place a student or two can gather and work. In this three-part webinar, we will explore how learning environments have shifted over time and the steps that can be taken to rethink how your spaces reinforce a student’s learning journey to develop themselves as a complete person.
Experts from Plunkett Raysich Architects, LLC, C.D. Smith Construction and The James Company take a deep dive into what it takes and where to start for independent schools to seize this opportunity. You’ll walk away with actionable insights from industry experts, including:
