The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently posted a story titled Focusing on Schools on its website.  An excerpt from this article is listed below.

As students head back to school it is increasingly important to recognize the outsized role that design makes in our nation’s learning environments. Architects are creating schools that are energy efficient, healthier, and promote increased interaction and learning opportunities. Space requirements are changing as students increasingly learn both from teachers and one another. During this month we will focus on school projects and public policy solutions that are helping to create the next generation of learning environments for America’s students.  Read full AIA story.

At OMS we believe in the importance of design in creating the best learning spaces for Indiana students.  We have worked to develop innovative solutions for many schools.  An example of our work and specifically our focus on design is illustrated in the below testimonial from one of our clients.

“I am very pleased with the work of OMS. Starting with their systematic attention to quality construction and functional detail, the OMS team has provided a superior project for our students and community– all on time and within budget. I regularly hear compliments from teachers, students, and community members about how well built, attractive, and functional our new facilities are. Most recently, we were commended on the design of our science labs by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement, specific to our biomedical programming and our state-of-the-art labs. I am certain that much of this is owed to the experienced and exceptional work from the OMS team of architects and engineers. I am confident that OMS will continue in their efforts to provide professional expertise and project support that will last years into the future.”
