Nov 11, 2024

Sarah Bartz and Tara Bray will present a mini-session at this year's EDspaces conference in Houston, Texas. Their session, titled "A Vision for the Future: How Student-Centered Engagement Can Shape the Design Process," will explore how equitable student involvement can empower students while enhancing school facility design. Sarah is the Research Lead and an architectural designer at modus, while Tara is an architect and the Director of Environmental and Social Impact. Together, they work to create more holistic and impactful designs for a variety of project types, particularly in K-12 facilities. This collaboration leads to more sustainable, equitable, and effective learning environments for all students.


EDspaces is an event that brings together leaders and innovators in the education facility industry to explore new ways to create learning environments that support student success. It features education sessions, immersive tours, a show floor, and Designed Learning Spaces — interactive spaces created in collaboration with architects, designers, and manufacturers to demonstrate the latest trends in educational design.


If you're attending EDspaces, check out Sarah and Tara's community engagement mini-session at 1:30 pm at Booth 1753: Bridging the Gap Middle School Classroom, sponsored by The American Institute of Architects Committee on Architecture for Education (AIA CAE).
