Spaces4Learning Launches 2024 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey

Spaces4Learning recently launched its 2024 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey, an annual report on the previous year’s construction projects at K–12 and higher education institutions nationwide. The data gathered is essential to creating an accurate industry report that offers a snapshot of current trends in school facilities with minimal time commitment. The 2024 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey will be featured in the fall 2024 print issue of Spaces4Learning, as well as online.

The survey includes questions like:

  • Did you complete any construction projects in 2023?
  • Have you started or will you start any construction projects in 2024?
  • What type of space(s) will undergo construction or renovation at your institution in the coming year?
  • What is your opinion on the funds available for construction compared to last year?

The 2023 Facilities & Construction Brief is available here, and the 2022 edition here.

Then ten-question 2024 survey is available here.

  • Rethinking K-12 Schools as a Continuous Learning Experience

    Most students move through three or more separate facilities during their K-12 journey, yet the built environments they encounter at each stage have traditionally been designed in isolation, with little continuity in spatial language, learning philosophy, or physical resources. Each new school is a reset with different layouts, learning models, expectations, and ways of moving through a building. The next generation of school design is making the case that the first day of kindergarten and the last day of high school can and should feel connected through common support systems and infrastructure in the physical environment.
