Sally Swanson Architects Successful educational design produces facilities that inspire a sense of identity, pride, and belonging among students. This critical, intangible goal motivates the work of SSA, Inc. (SSA) on every school project, whether it is a small-scale modernization or ground-up new construction. Our aim is to create humane design solutions that fully support the educational program and provide an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for both staff and student. In doing so, SSA works creatively with available resources. We begin by considering both the built and environmental context – taking into account existing facilities as well as the rise and set of the sun, wind patterns, and natural vistas to give organic shape and form to the new facility. Cost-efficient planning and detailing provides a way to create a rich, expressive learning environment within a modest budget. One of our fundamental strengths is the ability to integrate adaptable solutions, sustainable design, and future technology while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate change over time. |
