Interpretive Master Planning Can Transform a School Campus
ZOOM
Event Details
Growing a school today requires a more holistic approach to campus design and planning, one that enables a culture of purposeful engagement and authentic excellence. Interpretive planning has been utilized for decades by museums, hospitals, nature preserves, and others to craft a distinctive identity, and now schools are discovering the powerful advantages of this design approach. It focuses the mission, vision, core values, and goals into tangibly energized experiences throughout the campus, building brand authenticity by utilizing the full assets of the institution to elevate teaching, learning, and the entire experience for all stakeholders.
