Creating Learning Communities

Schools That Meet Your Mission

Our independent schools push the envelope of educational practice – creating programs to prepare their students for leadership roles in tomorrow’s world. With focus on academics, arts, civics, and emotional competency, independent schools require dynamic facilities that adapt to changes in teaching. We craft unique solutions to satisfy your board, excite your donors, and more importantly, enrich the experience of your students.

Specialties

Community Engagement and Experiential Design Is The Heart of Each Unique Campus

Constant Communication with Your School Board
Your school board empowers and funds capital projects and can be your greatest advocate. We understand the importance of board engagement and prepare updates, presentations, and messaging to keep the board informed and update on the progress of each project.

Campus Architecture
There is a difference between designing a building and designing a part of a campus. At Orcutt | Winslow, we understand the balance of indoor and outdoor, pedestrian and vehicle, old and new. Each campus is unique and each project is an opportunity to enhance the experience of the campus. Sometimes the careful renovation of a small space will have as much transformative effect as a new building.

Student-led Experiences
Students are the heart of every education project as the end user, and for us as an active participant in design. The ideas and insight that students share in visioning sessions, charette and student projects can be invaluable. Better yet, these interactions introduce the next generation of architects to their calling.
