P2S Magazine: Fall Issue
P2S helps colleges boldly step into the future by designing new and renovated facilities with building systems that are technologically driven to help students succeed and also help exceed new energy use requirements for public facilities. This issue of the P2S Magazine features some of that exciting work at Community Colleges and profiles some of our people who support educators and students. Inside, you'll find an interview with Desing Principal Darren Schwend, a teaser for our complete community college communication campaign, new podcasts, a project success story and more.
Community College by Design
We spoke with Design Principal Darren Schwend about engineering design for community college facilities. In his nearly three decades in the industry, Darren has designed for Community Colleges across the Pacific Northwest, including Bellevue College, Seattle Central College, Clover Park Technical College, Green River Community College, and others.
We thought Darren would be an ideal guide to take you through the world of community college facility design in 2024, how trends today differ from those in the past and how he anticipates colleges will meet the education challenges of the future.
