Tonight at the AIA San Mateo County Chapter Meeting, Brent McClure AIA will be discussing the recently completed La Entrada Middle School Classroom building. His talk will emphasize the design integration of a school’s curriculum and pedagogy to create Next Generation learning spaces. Hope to see you there!

Brent McClure, AIA and Principal of CAW Architects will discuss how this growing school’s need for new classrooms translated into a building that integrates Next Generation Learning throughout the design.
