JCJ Architecture has joined forces with the American Architectural Foundation’s Center for the Advancement of Architecture to support its national Design for Learning initiative.
The Hartford firm will serve as one of six knowledge partners that will help the foundation achieve its goal of providing key stakeholders with a single place to turn for information, technical support and inspiration on school design.
Design for Learning encourages elected officials, superintendents, school boards and other civic leaders to enhance the relationship between student learning and the school environment through design innovation. Its personalized learning design initiative, recently launched with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is working with six school districts to transform their existing schools.
JCJ will contribute the services of its experts to support design workshops with partner school districts. AAF design experts explore the role of design with local educators and administrators, encouraging thinking about design and change management in new ways to create spaces that more effectively support innovation and student-centered educational programs.
