Every Educational client has specific needs that make each project unique.

In order to create successful educational facilities, Pickering prioritizes the needs of students, staff, and administration. Every educational institution has its own unique requirements and goals, and it is important to tailor the design to meet these needs. Additionally, working within budget and time constraints is crucial for the success of any project. By carefully managing resources and timelines, Pickering continues to deliver educational design projects efficiently and effectively.

An important aspect of educational design is the use of sustainable materials. Incorporating materials that are environmentally friendly and have a low carbon footprint can contribute to the overall sustainability of the facility. Additionally, strategies such as daylighting, which involves maximizing the use of natural light, can reduce energy consumption and create a more pleasant and productive learning environment.

Furthermore, the use of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly important in educational design. Incorporating technologies such as solar panels or geothermal systems can help to reduce reliance on traditional energy sources and lower the carbon footprint of the facility.
