Spaces4Learning is proud to announce the winners of the 2024 Education Design Showcase!

Now in its 25th year, the S4L Education Design Showcase honors innovative solutions in planning, design, architecture, and construction across K–12 and higher education. The program’s goal is to share ideas and best practices to help schools of all grade levels achieve outstanding learning environments.

This year, we’ve awarded two K–12 and two higher ed Grand Prize winners in the categories of New Construction, Renovation, and Spaces, as well of two Project of Distinction winners deemed worthy of additional recognition.

“This year’s Education Design Showcase entries demonstrated continued innovations and commitment to student success—not just academically, but wholistically,” said Matt Jones, senior editor for Spaces4Learning. “Congratulations to this year’s winners for their outstanding projects and for the work that they do.”
