Spaces4Learning Launches 2025 Education Design Showcase

Spaces4Learning is now accepting submissions for the 2025 Education Design Showcase! Launched in 1999, the program celebrates innovative and practical solutions in planning, design, and construction. The goals are to share and broadcast new developments that will help achieve optimal learning environments for K–12 and higher-education students, as well as to recognize the firms that made the ideas into reality.

Winning projects will be featured:

  • In the spring 2025 issue of the Spaces4Learning print magazine
  • Online at spaces4learning.com
  • In the S4L K–12 or Higher Education Update eNewsletter
  • In a press release and on social media.

Click here to learn more about the program and the required materials for entry. Submit your project now, 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 costs.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 14, 2025. Please contact Mallory Bastionell with any questions or for further information. Check out the winners of last year’s Education Design Showcase here!

  • Year-Round Schools Require Year-Round Indoor Air Quality Planning

    While many schools are out for the summer, year-round schools follow a more “balanced” schedule with shorter, more frequent breaks spaced throughout the school year. Even though this offers educational benefits, these facilities have less downtime for building maintenance. This can become an issue when facilities managers overlook the importance of routine HVAC maintenance and air duct cleaning services.
