Schools-Architecture

		What is a School to architects? So much brick and mortar? Another construction project that has to meet a budget and a schedule? If so, you may be working with the wrong firm. Because a school isn’t a building for warehousing children, it is the foundation on which to build their futures and the platform for launching their dreams. An enlightened design can accommodate curriculum change, promote study habits, and foster respect for learning. Moreover, a school isn't just for kids. It's also a fountain of youth for grown-ups. Think of it: a town hall, an athletic field, a reference center, a theater, a concert hall, a wellspring of continuing education, all in one place. In fact, the character of an entire community is bound up with that of schools. And where does a school get its character? Well, in large part, from its architecture. For us at GreenAssociates, this is a great responsibility. That's why we do not mass-produce schools. That's why we work in close cooperation with educators and community leaders to design each school to fit the unique qualities of its community. Yet, it's more than a responsibility. It's a wonderful opportunity. Because we believe that if we dedicate ourselves anew to each project, and bring to it all our skill and all that modern technology can provide, not only will we be part of our children's tomorrows, but we will also add to the health, value, and growth of each community. After all, we will be creating much more than beautiful and lasting buildings. We will be creating beautiful and lasting schools.
