Today's K-12 education landscape is rapidly changing. As enrollment growth and the need for new construction of school buildings has slowed down, K-12 school districts must prioritize maintenance and renovation projects to create healthy and sustainable school buildings for the future. Read on to discover the best ways to improve student experience for K-12 schools.
3 Smart Ways to Improve Student Experience for K-12 School Districts
K-12 school districts face new challenges and opportunities as the education landscape evolves. While enrollment growth has slowed down and the need for new construction has decreased, there is a growing need for K-12 schools to prioritize maintenance and renovation projects to create healthy and sustainable school buildings for the future. This blog explores three innovative ways for K-12 school districts to improve student experience and create a better learning environment.
Transform K-12 Educational Facilities into Strategic Assets with Technology
It is so essential that all school staff stay updated on how to use data and insight tools to improve facilities and get the most out of your school's physical assets. This is one of the most efficient ways to cut costs. Regarding capital planning, a strategic software solution like FOUNDATION-Plans will transform your institution by developing accurate and transparent capital improvement plans that prioritize your capital investments and mitigate risks. In addition, with FOUNDATION-Plans, you can easily manage deferred maintenance with a clear understanding of immediate versus long-term improvements.
Innovate the Space your School District Already has by Redesigning the Learning Environment to be More Flexible and Reconfigurable.
One of the biggest trends in K-12 education is the growing desire for more flexible, reconfigurable learning spaces. Many districts are exploring campus-wide redesigns of communal spaces like libraries and innovating by adding modular furniture and eliminating bolted stacks, which no longer work well for today's digital learners. With flexible furniture, facilities executives don't have to worry about renovating an entire space. Modular furniture allows schools to make better use of the space that they already have.
Sustainable Design for K to 12 Schools and Facilities
Now more than ever, it is essential to ensure that K-12 educational facilities are designed to be sustainable. The health of school buildings and infrastructure directly impacts the well-being of humans and the environment. In this way, maintaining k to 12 facilities is an environmental issue.
Increasingly, schools are designing classrooms that stimulate the learning process and the natural environment. Something as simple as light fixtures can be crucial to energy savings and student focus. A simple green resolution would be to design rooms to allow natural lighting to dictate the visibility of the room.

The classroom of the future must inspire exploration and experimentation. It must integrate technology, both in the classroom itself as well as with the devices that students use on a daily basis on campus and at home. It will incorporate dynamic ergonomics, such as touch screens and tables, that allow kids to reach across, face each other, and collaborate easily.
