Today’s school facilities require more technology and flexibility to maximize the interdisciplinary cross-curriculum flexible classroom approach and foster creative collaboration. Today’s facilities also require additional safety and security design components to keep students and staff safe in their learning environment. When designing new or renovating existing facilities, student safety is Sean’s first priority. Throughout his 20-year career in school design consulting, Sean has worked directly with the Owner and user groups to understand flow and circulation patterns, facility entry point access, and overall site accessibility.
