A Story Everyone Will Love

Have you ever walked into a school and felt like you were transported into learning spaces from decades or even centuries ago? In these moments, it becomes clear that many of today’s learning spaces are not the result of thoughtful strategy; instead, these spaces have been shaped by the momentum of tradition and thousands of micro-decisions that weren’t made over the years.

Think about the message this outdated design sends about the school’s values and priorities. Consider the story that takes shape in your mind about what the learning experience is like there. Notice how much you already feel you know about the place just from evaluating the space design.  

Your own spaces are telling a story, too. Do you know what it is? More importantly, who is in control of the narrative? 

Every space has potential waiting to be unlocked. To get there, you must first win support from teachers, students, families, and your community. That means crafting a compelling narrative about why space design matters and how it supports kids’ success, then marketing that narrative effectively. You’ll need to tell your story, repeat your story, and unpack your story to make sure it’s the one that sticks.
