Schools
Souza, True and Partner’s years of experience in designing educational facilities allow us to create the perfect school campus for your needs.
Elementary, middle, and high school campuses provide vital spaces for children and teenagers to grow, learn, and develop. Souza, True and Partners has collaborated on many school facility projects to create positive venues to promote education and support for extracurricular activities.
We work closely with architects and owners to accommodate classroom and circulation requirements, provide functional space for teachers and administrators, and house large amenity areas like cafeterias, libraries, gymnasiums, and auditoriums. Our experience also includes stand-alone field houses to provide additional recreational and concession spaces.
Whatever the specific needs are for a school facility, Souza, True and Partners are able to work with you to meet your goals.
