The K–12 and higher education facilities landscapes are always evolving. Schools are constantly adapting to technology advances, pedagogy changes, sustainability initiatives, and more. As 2025 approaches, we at Spaces4Learning are asking our readership—school administrators, facilities managers, architects, engineers, builders, superintendents, designers, and vendors—to send us their predictions for educational facilities for the coming year.

Specifically, we’re asking for opinions on the following four topics:

  • Classroom Design
  • Health & Safety
  • Materials & Construction
  • Technology

Please address each topic in 200 words or less, and you’re welcome to address as many or as few as you’d like. Email them to [email protected], and in the subject line, please include “2025 Educational Trends Opinion Submission” as well as your chosen topics. Please also include your name, title, organization (if applicable), and a brief (1-2 sentence) bio. The deadline for submissions is Friday, Dec. 27, 2024.

Selected opinions will be featured in an upcoming series of feature stories. For reference, please see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of our 2024 series. Let’s shape the future of education together by discussing innovative, inspiring, and inclusive spaces for learnings of all ages!
