Spaces4Learning Launches 2024 Education Design Showcase

Spaces4Learning is now accepting entries for the 2024 Education Design Showcase! The program was established in 1999 to share innovative and practical solutions in planning, design, and construction. The goal is to share and broadcast ideas that will help achieve the best possible learning environments—and to recognize the firms that have made these ideas a reality.

Winning projects will be featured in:

  • the Spaces4Learning print magazine and online at spaces4learning.com
  • the S4L K–12 or Higher Education Update eNewsletter
  • a press release and on social media.

Learn more about the program and required materials for entry here. Submit your project today, and pay nothing to enter! If your project is selected for publication, you’ll receive an invoice in April to help cover judging and production, printing, and magazine distribution.

Please contact Mallory Bastionell with any questions or for further information. Check out the winners of the 2023 Education Design Showcase here!

  • Designing the Bridge Between Inclusivity and Independence in K–12 Schools

    Fostering independence is fundamental to learning and development for K–12 students. It offers many proven benefits, such as enhanced confidence, problem-solving, decision-making, and social skills. However, this foundational objective loses its impact if it’s not accessible and adaptable to all students. Inclusivity plays a critical role in cultivating independence and healthy autonomy for students, fostering positive student learning outcomes by uniting pedagogy with the physical learning environment.
