S6 E14: Sustainable Design for Learning Environments
August 31, 2022
Overview:
In the shadow of the Las Vegas Strip, the Clark County School District is the 5th-largest school district in the U.S. at a staggering 305,000 students. Brandon came to the district on the heels of approval for a $3.7 billion dollar Capital Improvement Plan extension and oversees the architectural design for new and replacement schools along with modernization efforts.
A district often criticized for prototypical, “prison-like” facilities historically, he looks to slowly align an ever-changing educational delivery model with buildings that support and ease delivery of content that increases student outcomes and enhances student and staff daily experience.
