We’re thrilled to see the design development approval for the new 18+ facility at Dripping Springs ISD — a project that marks a strong step forward in creating a flexible, life-skills focused environment for adult transition services. From simulated living environments with kitchen, laundry and home-style bathrooms to outdoor learning spaces and adaptable classrooms, our goal is to support each student’s unique path to independence. Proud to be part of this community-driven initiative built on a foundation of resilience and empowerment. #Design #K12Architecture #InclusiveEducation #ResilienceInDesign https://lnkd.in/gNvMPCw4
