But how can stringent safety and security issues be addressed when designing the open, daylit environments conducive to learning and supporting the healthy growth of children and young adults? Join Record and a panel of design leaders for a discussion about a range of strategies and projects—from K-12 schools to university-level facilities. The event will showcase exemplary work shaped by pedagogical goals, that at the same time consider the harsh realities of our times. The featured projects, located in Atlanta, also engages their broader contexts, fostering community both within, and outside, their walls.
