6 HEALTHY,
SAFE SCHOOLS
Unsafe K-12 school environments can cause illness and injuries. Proper mainte- nance, good design, and some forethought can help ensure that we have safe, healthy, and relatively accident-free schools.

for today’s students and highlight outstanding designs and architecture in K-12 education facilities.
TWENTIETH ANNUAL EDUCATION DESIGN SHOWCASE
2019 OUTSTANDING DESIGN
A+RCHITECTURE IN EDUCATION
GOOD DESIGNS don’t just happen, they are based on exhaustive of research and the study of best practices. To help provide this information on what makes a “good” space for learning, SP&M established the Education Design Showcase in 1999 as a vehicle for sharing innovative, yet practical, solutions in planning, design, and construction. The goal is to share ideas that will help us achieve the best possible learning environments for all students at all levels of education.
This year’s entries are good examples of what is being provided for today’s students. Our panel of judges studied the submissions, and after much discussion, chose a Grand Prize winner and two Honorable Mentions to designate the projects that they felt were the most outstanding. The Grand Prize winner is highlighted on page
23, followed by all of the entries, in alphabetical order according to their level—EC-12, Elementary, Middle School, High School.
The judges’ choice for Grand prize is a school that they say, based on the entry information, has a nice variety of space for students to explore career choices while maintaining the stan- dard curriculum. The judges chose two projects as Honorable Mentions. One, because it was built to address the local needs and is a good sustainable project, and another because it is a
well-organized school that seems like it would be a good place to work or be a student.
In addition to being published in this issue, all of these projects are also available, with more images and more detailed descrip- tions, on our portal website, spaces4learning.com.
As usuAl, All of the entries we received were of exceptionAl quAlity, mAking the judging process A difficult one. this yeAr’s pAnel of judges is:

12 HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS
Floors provide a real impression regard-
ing what you want people to think about
the institution. The rest of your facility can sparkle, but if your floors or carpets look worn or dirty, they can send the wrong mes- sage to visitors, students, and staff about the ability to fund the institution, or the ability to provide quality programs or education. BY GORDON BUNTROCK
