06 Oct Transform Your Educational Space with JMC Design
The world is returning to a sense of normality, and JMC can’t wait to see the return of teachers and children to schools throughout Canada and across the world. As we approach Summer 2021, we’ve highlighted some of our very best work across educational & library spaces. Check it out!
We’ve built our reputation on successful projects that place the safety and wellbeing of their users as a core priority. Whilst we’ve been proud to champion innovative interior design and furniture collection across a number of corporate & public spaces, we’re pleased to showcase our work across education & library environments as we prepare to enter a new normal with even greater focus on infection control measures than ever before.
Transforming Places of Education in 2021 & Beyond
Schools and libraries across Canada and North America faced unprecedented measures when they were forced to temporarily close at the height of the Covid outbreak. As our understanding of the virus grows and vaccination programmes roll out, teachers continue to bear a responsibility in protecting their pupils from the risks of infection.
We believe that safe spaces of learning during and after the pandemic don’t have to be disconnected and clinical experiences. Well planned and well thought out spaces create the happiest and most productive learning environments, and we’ve created, fun and functional environments across elementary, secondary and university levels.
Lord Kitchener Elementary School
A truly unique example of the next generation of schools in Vancouver, we were proud to lend our expertise to a classic building:
