Dr. Michael Ralph, Multistudio’s Director of Research, is a co-founder of the Coalition for the Advanced Understanding of School Environments (CAUSE), a collaborative organization that offers research-driven insight into how students and teachers engage with learning spaces.
The research generated by CAUSE helps industry leaders in education design advocate for greater investment in K-12 projects and facilities.
Dr. Ralph's goal with CAUSE is to make K-12 post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) more accessible to school communities. Having standardized data to understand the impact of education design helps build stronger consensus around project investments, driving better outcomes for students and teachers.
