HOLISTIC
We believe that great design rests on three tenets: holistic, humancentric, and evidence-based. They all work together to give clients a building that is more purposeful, more engaging, and more closely tied to their mission, vision and goals.
Holistic design considers the importance of all aspects of a building—from learning, to experience, to operational requirements and more. Each aspect works together to support the primary purpose, and ultimately the success, of an educational facility.
Huckabee’s commitment to education reinforces our holistic approach. Our MORE means exactly that; through a breadth of services, advocacy for public education, community engagement, and emphasis on client service we bring MORE to the process of design. We are your trusted advisors and biggest champions in all aspects of education.
HUMAN-CENTRIC
Design must also be human-centric; schools are made whole by the people and communities who use them. Education facilities are the single most occupied non-residential building in America, and on average, US citizens will spend 1/4 of their lives in an educational environment engaged in learning, socializing, and at play.
We not only approach design through a human-centric lens, but also create a framework for design that fully engages stakeholders in the creation of their building and experience. This framework establishes a creative space through charrettes, activities, and conversations where your stakeholders guide how your facilities will look, feel, and perform.
Through this approach, the human-centric needs, desires, behaviors, and emotions of the people your building will serve remain at the forefront to help shape design.
EVIDENCE-BASED
Evidence-based design seeks to make decisions by using research and proven outcomes to achieve the best possible solution. This thought process extends to the organization of space and selection of materials, furniture, technology, building systems, and more.
Huckabee is invested in research, services, and the expertise required to support our evidence-based approach. Our experience is enhanced by industry leadership in committees that set building codes and best practices for architecture and engineering.
We also have access to educational research through our partnership with MOREgroup. This provides insight into the impact elements of the learning environment—such as furniture, technology, choice, and flexibility—have on student engagement.
