Promoting Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging: Bringing Space into the Dialogue
Early Learning
At a young age, social interaction is as important as academic instruction. We seek spaces that fuel kids’ desire to become lifelong learners; hands-on, sensory rich environments that move bodies and capture the imagination.
Primary & Secondary
Through adolescence and in preparation for early adulthood, place-based education has to facilitate rapid discovery and build a student’s connection to their larger community. Flexible, outdoor-connected spaces that convey the spirit of their neighbourhood.
College & University
Higher learner environments must foster a sense of collaboration and intellectual exchange. Our research group, IBI THiNK, partnered with major institutions on a global research project titled “4 Labs 4 Cities” to examine how signature architecture, environmental leadership and smart technology can help us rethink the modern campus configuration.
Non Traditional Learning
From vocational laboratories to mock courtrooms and entrepreneurial incubators, spaces that embrace experiential learning are creating a more diverse educational landscape — and one that proudly puts the emphasis on participation.
