Educational and Technology Planning

ESP has developed Educational Program Documents which include statements of: vision and mission, current teaching and learning trends and their impact on school design and learning space layout, community involvement and use, curriculum initiates and desired educational program direction, critical issues and challenges, grade level configurations and school size, and program space utilization. ESP has developed Technology Utilization Plans for multiple school districts which provide technology standards and guidelines to architects.

IT Telecommunications, AV & Security Design

With two active Registered Communications Distribution Designers (RCDDs) on staff, ESP is prepared to guide design teams toward future-proofed IT systems with capacity for growth. ESP can integrate classroom technology such as AV presentation systems, electronic whiteboards, and audio enhancement with the building IT communications infrastructure. By representing these technologies from the first stages of educational programming, we can ensure school facilities that supply learner, instructor and administrator with the space, infrastructure and environment to properly utilize technology.
