Educational facilities are one of Legendary’s major project types. Our Education Practice Group focuses on designing educational facilities to create an environment that fosters advanced student academic performance. Education facilities today are constantly evolving to meet the pressures of changing student demands. Our higher education teams have managed the design, architecture, construction, renovation and re-purposing of a wide variety of project types.

We understand the importance of building a sustainable future and we work with our clients to define sustainable design priorities and goals, and develop appropriate strategies and performance standards to guide the design and decision-making process. The outcome is high performance facilities that are easily maintained, durable, and flexible enough to meet future educational needs while adhering to environmentally friendly guidelines. We are committed to the practice of the highest quality architecture and engineering, one that meets and exceeds its expectations for both function and contribution to the campus context.

In the forefront of emerging trends, the spaces we create are highly attuned to the requirements of architecture and engineering in pursuit of efficient operation and security as well as comfort and delight. Our buildings are welcoming and promote the development of critical life skills from social interaction to personal reflection. Whether a student is engaged with dining, recreation, relaxation or living, our student residential projects provide inspiration, create excitement and embody the ideals of social responsibility and sustainable living.

Our Education Practice Group, collaborates with our college and university clients to reach consensus on creative solutions that shape visions and contribute to each unique campus context. We recognize that the facilities we design serve as promotional tools to attract the best and brightest faculty and students. Our goal is to translate the vision of our clients into architecture that will meet the educational needs of today and tomorrow.
