TheSquare Ep #42 Design Lessons From Teachers
Thursday Mar 24, 2022
Thursday Mar 24, 2022
Few professions were upended by the past two years as much as teachers. Met with immediate school shutdowns, technology inequities, and learning gaps, teachers must also navigate the more enduring changes in how we learn and work.
While schools have been good at prioritizing improved student experience and performance, they have been, generally speaking, less successful in providing spaces that support those responsible for delivering those outcomes. Corgan’s 2022 study, Design Lessons from Teachers, surveys 1000 K-12 teachers from across the nation to uncover the challenges and opportunities in school design to better support teacher performance, satisfaction, recruitment, and ultimately, student outcomes.
Since the firm’s original study on teacher pain points and preferences in 2019, surveyed teachers cited limited learning environments as a primary source of stress—35%, up by 10% while also citing its increased importance in their ability to be a good teacher—71% compared to 38% in 2019.
So, what do teachers need? Sangeetha Karthik, Associate Principal in Corgan’s Education practice and Melissa Hoelting, Design Research Specialist at Hugo, Corgan’s Research and Development team, share the top five lessons from teachers and what they need from school design.

Did you know that concrete is the second most used resource in the world, next to water? Making concrete is a complex process— using the studies of chemistry, physics, and engineering, coupled with hundreds of elements all rolled into one.
On this week’s episode of TheSquare Podcast, we have a curious conversation with Brent Rollins, Vice President of Business Development for Spray-Lock Concrete Protection, a US-based colloidal silica producer. With over 20 years of experience in the mixed concrete industry, Brent has consulted and published globally on concrete durability and infrastructure resilience and serves on several committees with ASTM and ACI.

While the primary function of most places— from schools, offices, and retail spaces to hospitals and theme parks— are fairly different, they all share the desire to promote a sense of belonging and loyalty in support of a common goal. Virtual and hybrid platforms are reshaping how we experience everything from retail and entertainment, learning and collaborating and how we work. Employers are now faced with the challenge and opportunity to recreate those everyday interactions that deepen our connection to the brand, mission, people— and ultimately build belonging in a hybrid world.
Enter: Branded Environments. Leveraging physical spaces to tell a story, branded environments use the language of brand and design to tell the unique story of each space and organization. On this week’s episode of TheSquare Podcast, we are joined by David Rose and Micaela Fangue, who are both on the Branded Environments team at Corgan, to discuss the possibilities of storytelling in the built environment, experiential design, and how branded environments can help employees form a sense of belonging, engagement, and loyalty.
