How We Work

Education

Today’s learning environments must respond to all levels of educational programming to provide flexible, cost effective, interesting and safe spaces in which students can learn and grow.

Confluence specializes in meeting the needs of students and faculty through the design of new and renovated school facilities. For each school project, our professionals balance site opportunities and resources with the Districts’ goals and objectives. Master planning for an educational campus involves thinking big to establish an overall vision, while also thinking small to ensure the details are coordinated and integrated.

Our approach involves creatively designing outdoor spaces that are safe and attractive while supporting and enhancing the interaction between students and teachers.
