Spaces4Learning Extends Education Design Showcase 2024 Deadline

Spaces4Learning recently announced that it has extended the deadline for its annual Education Design Showcase awards program. The new deadline for submission is Friday, March 15, 2024. EDS 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.

Entry categories include new construction, renovation, addition, and adaptive reuse, and projects must have been completed after Jan. 1, 2022. All entries will be showcased in the Spaces4Learning print magazine, online at spaces4learning.com, the S4L K–12 and Higher Education Update eNewsletters, on social media, and in a press release.

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!
