Our Work

Primary + Secondary Schools

Confluence specializes in meeting the needs of students and faculty through the design of new and/or renovated school facilities.  For each school, Confluence balances each site’s opportunities and resources with the Districts’ goals and objectives. Master planning for educational campuses involves thinking big to capture an overall vision, and also thinking small to ensure the details are coordinated and integrated.

Our approach typically includes creatively designing outdoor spaces that are safe and attractive while enhancing the interaction between students and teachers. In today’s learning environment, we must respond to all levels of the education program in providing flexible, cost effective, interesting and safe spaces in which students can learn and grow.
