DLR Group experts regularly lead conversations regarding educational facility design at national conferences and events. Last month, my colleagues Jim French, Kevin Greischar, Curtis Johnson, Lisa Johnson, Pam Loeffelman, and I attended EDspaces in Kansas City, an event widely recognized as the premier event to learn about what’s next in the world of education. I also brought students from the Learning Spaces Studio at the University of Nebraska’s (UNL) College of Architecture to EDspaces as part of their studio curriculum. Learning Spaces is a studio consisting of 4thyear-interior design and architecture students that I co-facilitate with Nate Bicak, Assistance Professor of Interior Design at UNL. After the event, professionals from DLR Group discussed our conclusions based on what we learned and heard, as well as opportunities to advance the conversation around the future of the learning environment. UNL students chimed in with their thoughts and lessons for their future design careers.
