Design & Education

KEY approaches the design of new schools and refurbishment of any existing buildings by prioritising the stakeholder needs and the educational vision of the local authority and individual schools. A number of our team work closely with CABE, National College for School Leadership and Architecture and Design Scotland.

KEY understands how good school design can have a significant beneficial impact on the quality of the educational experience in terms of:

• Increased educational productivity
• Physical environment - e.g. natural light, ventilation, acoustics etc.
• Efficient school management
• Adaptability and flexibility for present and future curriculum development
• Hidden and informal curriculum
• Community involvement and civic pride
• Efficient facilities management providing value for money

KEY combines a realistic approach with innovative solutions. This is enhanced by our understanding of curriculum delivery, timetabling, learning styles and school organisation. Key also offers expertise in accommodation schedules, modeling a schedule as BB98, room layouts and room data sheets.
