Can a new school or major renovation actually improve student and teacher performance—and strengthen the community that surrounds it? A new multi-year study by Perkins Eastman and Drexel University suggests exactly that, writes Jennifer Sergent, LEED Green Associate in “Proof Positive” for our annual magazine, #TheNarrative. The story details how the firm’s K-12 Education practice, along with Drexel University's School of Education Professor Bruce A. Levine, produced findings that will inform school districts’ approach to facility improvements—and the budget requests to finance them. The study, “Addressing a Multi-Billion Dollar Challenge,” was sponsored by The American Institute of Architects (AIA) College of Fellows #LatrobePrize and J+J Flooring.

Perkins Eastman’s #FuturesCouncil met in our #NewYork studio last week for two days of leadership training and to share much valued face-to-face time together. “We gathered a great group of our talented professionals from across the firm for two intense days of leadership training and coaching led by Cathy Mobley from FMG Leading. This kicks off the Futures Council’s work. It’s always impressive to see the depth of talent and experience we have throughout the firm. Cathy made a point of saying how engaged the group was, and the positive energy they brought to the sessions,” says Nick Leahy, AIA, LEED AP, co-CEO and executive director, who co-leads the Futures Council with Jeff Young, AIA, principal and executive director. “The connections this group will make, and the professional relationships that are formed over the next year, will be profound. This will be of huge benefit to the entire enterprise, not to mention the individual council members, in innumerable ways. I can’t wait to see how they gel together and collectively provide fresh insights for the betterment of the firm,” Young adds. #PerkinsEastman #HumanByDesign #FuturesCouncil #ThoughtLeadership #DesignLeadership #Design #Architecture #NYC
