If you’re heading to Seattle next week, we can’t wait to connect with you!

The JKAE team is attending A4LE LearningSCAPES 2026! We’re excited to join the conversation around this year’s theme, Learning Without Limits: Alternative Environments for Tomorrow’s Students, and share insights from meaningful projects like the new Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy.

Designed to inspire innovative and engaging learning experiences, the 25,652-square-foot campus features four buildings: a 12-classroom building, a multi-use building with a kitchen and stage, an administration building, and a library. Outdoor learning spaces and an integrated STEAM lab extend opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and hands-on discovery beyond the traditional classroom.

We look forward to connecting with fellow educational design professionals and exploring new possibilities for the future of learning!

When you're in the business of designing educational environments, sometimes supporting schools takes on a whole new meaning!

Over the past few weeks, JKAE team members Derek and Matt have put their creativity to work outside the office, helping bring the Placer High School sophomore homecoming float to life for their own kids!

We're always proud to support our school communities, but it's even more special when we get to do it as parents.
