Strong and happy children are the heart of any community and school must be a place for them to grow and thrive. JLR readily serves Indigenous communities who are building new schools for their children and youth. Our 70 years as a project delivery firm has made us an experienced listener, in-tune to the needs of our clients, ensuring the end result will meet their expectations and serve their purposes. We do this through conversations, community group meetings and activities, and a rigorous exploratory process to holistically understand the school’s site and its constraints.
Knowing that every school is different, and believing every student deserves a learning environment that is led by its past yet embraces its future, we create bright and welcoming spaces that support traditional teaching methods. We customize our approach to adopt a multigenerational mindset and exercise environmental stewardship.
We bring the outside in, creating spaces that flow and harmonize together. We’re mindful of how the school fits into the surrounding landscape and how it will celebrate the intrinsic qualities of the site. As we work together, we’ll create spaces to be both inspiring and functional, that can include private and public spaces for ceremonies and events. Our school designs are accessible, inclusive, and adaptable for groups of different sizes.
