OMS architects are often involved in the planning and designing of various educational projects. A trend that we have seen change the way we design these projects is virtual learning. Students log on from home and complete assignments via the internet and cloud based educational software.  Teachers can instruct and “chat” online to assist with lesson objectives and questions in real time in a virtual classroom environment.

Virtual Learning Centers now exist all over the country to provide innovative and alternative education opportunities to students. Indiana has multiple virtual learning centers and hybrid learning programs offered across the state. The Hoosier Academy Virtual School is a fully online program for students K-12. Over 90 courses and individualized programs provide students with a unique educational experience.

Going along with this trend, architecture and design for education must have a focus on technology and innovation. Providing teachers and students with modern computers and digital elements are necessary.
