Franklin Hill & Associates
Planning for Tomorrow's Educational Change

Since being the lead facility planners for the Disney Celebration School, IBM Partnership schools in Canada, and over 250 school districts nationally, we believe our school buildings must help to guide education into the future. Major shifts in technology, curriculum, delivery, and community use are significantly altering the size, function, and environmental needs of our schools. Thus, planning and design must be more creative and flexible than ever before. Yet, many of our children are being educated in new or remodeled schools that have been designed to 1990's standards.

The planning and designing of a school, whether new or remodeled, must provide an opportunity to re-examine past practices, assess emerging instructional methods, and consider program changes appropriate to the user. For this to occur, the facility planning process must provide educational, technological, and design leadership-all working together to ultimately create the most appropriate learning environment.

Franklin Hill & Associates is a national leader in successfully facilitating a collaborative and well-directed participatory planning process, which results in feasible and cost-effective buildings.

Change must be understood before it can be accepted and embraced. Through our people-oriented process, we can explore together trends that may work for your unique local needs. And with our experience, we can provide you with access to options through videos, workshops, and multimedia presentations.
