Transforming Learning Spaces
Structural Engineering for the Future of Education

The education landscape has shifted dramatically.
With technology reshaping how students learn, the demand for flexible, tech-enabled environments has never been greater. At Bennett & Pless, we’re proud to have served as trusted educational facility structural consultants for over 60 years, partnering with K-12 schools, universities, and campus systems across the Southeast.
We understand that each educational institution is unique, and we specialize in creating adaptive, safe, and sustainable structures that support the next generation of learning.

Designing for the future of learning
The modern classroom is no longer confined to traditional walls. Today’s educational spaces are dynamic, flexible, and technology-driven. Our approach to educational facility design integrates the latest innovations in learning environments, ensuring that our structures are not only safe and durable but also support interactive, self-directed learning.
With more schools adopting one-to-one device programs and enhancing their use of technology, infrastructure needs to evolve. We focus on creating adaptable spaces that grow with the needs of students and educators, supporting both traditional and digital learning methods.

Our approach to education facility design
We believe that the design of educational facilities requires a deep understanding of the school culture and the community it serves. Our engineers work hand-in-hand with facility teams to ensure that each structure aligns with the school’s vision and values. Whether it’s a renovation or a new build, we focus on:
Safety and Durability:
Ensuring that the building will serve its educational purpose for decades to come.
Flexibility and Adaptability:
Creating spaces that evolve with new teaching methods, technologies, and student needs.
Cost-Effective Solutions:
Delivering on time and within budget while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
