Spaces4Learning Launches 2026 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey

Spaces4Learning recently launched the 2026 Facilities and Construction Brief Survey, which collects data on the previous year’s K–12 and higher education construction projects nationwide. The information that you, our readers, provide to us becomes an industry report offering an overview of current trends in school facilities. The 2026 Facilities and Construction Brief will be featured in a fall digital special edition.

The survey is 12 questions, among them:

  • Did you complete any construction projects in 2025?
  • Have you completed or will you complete any construction projects in 2026?
  • Have you shelved or cancelled any construction projects for 2026?
  • What types of spaces will undergo construction or renovation at your institution in the coming year?

The 2025 Facilities & Construction Brief is available here.

  • Rethinking K-12 Schools as a Continuous Learning Experience

    Most students move through three or more separate facilities during their K-12 journey, yet the built environments they encounter at each stage have traditionally been designed in isolation, with little continuity in spatial language, learning philosophy, or physical resources. Each new school is a reset with different layouts, learning models, expectations, and ways of moving through a building. The next generation of school design is making the case that the first day of kindergarten and the last day of high school can and should feel connected through common support systems and infrastructure in the physical environment.
