S27 Defining Education Spaces for the Next Generation

The team of Studio Twenty Seven, Brailsford & Dunlavey, and Public Pathways has just completed Elementary and Middle School Educational Specifications for the City of Alexandria Public Schools. Educational Specifications (“Ed Specs”) are developed to serve as the guiding recipe and benchmark for future school renovations and new construction projects. 

Per the National School Boards Association, “The purpose of educational specifications (“Ed Specs”) is to define the programmatic, functional, spatial, and environmental requirements of the educational facility, whether new or remodeled, in written and graphic form for review, clarification, and agreement as to scope of work and design requirements by the architect, engineer, and other professionals working on the building design.”
