Educational Facilities
Understanding At Willett Engineering, we understand the physical design and organization of the learning environment can have a profound impact on the success of the students and faculty of a school. The link between student achievement and school facility environment design has begun to receive more attention by researchers in recent years. One of the largest monetary investments we make in our educational systems is found in the brick and mortar of the physical structures that house the educational process. These facilities should be well designed and planned to enhance the individual curriculums and support the teaching and learning that is enacted within their walls. A well-designed and planned school encourages and supports better student performance and makes a strong statement to the community at large regarding the importance of education. For investment Spending on the renovation and new construction of educational facilities is currently reaching an all-time high. As we continue to build schools at an ever-increasing rate for our rapidly growing school age populations, Willett Engineering is committed to developing structural systems that are lighter, safer, more economical, and easier to build... using less material to reach greater heights and longer spans. Respectful of context and detail, we design new building systems, and redesign existing ones, to age well and fit gracefully into urban sites and suburban campuses. Offering More Functionality Today's educational facilities can serve as a community hub, a place where students can learn about collaboration and the common good. It can strengthen a surrounding community’s sense of identity and coherence, not unlike a new version of the old town square. We focus on designing long-term building structures, which should be able to cope with shifts in demographic emphasis and new developments in educational methodology. Willett Engineering offers a range of specialist engineering services to ensure that our educational buildings are serviceable, durable and reliable, that they are functional, yet provide a scale and atmosphere which is stimulating and non-institutional. It is important that the engineering design of such buildings intensify special adaptability to cater for varied programs of activity and different scales of occupation. Health & Safety While safety and health issues have always been top priorities in schools, increasing instances of campus crime, violence, and other unhealthy conditions have focused concern for school health, safety, and resources on our nation’s schools. As we strive to create environments for teaching and learning that are open and inviting to the community at large, we also feel that all educational facilities should be designed to promote and secure the health, safety, and security of the students and staff they house and support. From the simplest pre-K facilities to the most complex of university buildings, our commitment to providing an exceptional design and safe structural building system is matched by none!
