The Next Stage: Spaces4Learning
School Planning & Management is evolving.
Beginning with the next issue, we
will become Spaces4Learning. More than just
a name change, Spaces4Learning heralds a
new direction for our publication and a vastly
expanded scope.
The education sector is changing.
Technology is driving radical transformations in all aspects
of schools, colleges and universities — from planning and
management to teaching and learning. We needed a new
publication that would address these changes in the market in both
K–12 and post-secondary education.
Spaces4Learning will expand the coverage previously offered
by SP&M and our higher education sister publication, College
Planning & Management, incorporating education technology
and spotlighting some of the latest trends in the integration of
technology and space design and management, from esports arenas
to school makerspaces — all while continuing to focus on the nuts
and bolts of design, operation and maintenance of K–12 and higher
education facilities.
We’re launching Spaces4Learning as both a brand new print
publication and a new website (spaces4learning.com) loaded with
original content and a wealth of resources. We’re even launching
some new offerings, including in-person events, podcasts,
newsletters and webcast series. And, of course, Spaces4Learning
will continue to offer expert tips, in-depth features, exclusive
insights and up-to-the-minute news.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this final issue of School Planning & Management in its current form and look forward to delivering the
all-new Spaces4Learning to you in December!
