Architect Bob Morris breaks down how net-zero schools, biophilic design, and human-centered architecture are reshaping the future of education. 🙋 Meet Your Fellow Sustainability Champion **Bob is an architect who specializes in the planning and design of K12 schools for EUA, a multi-disciplinary design firm with five office locations in Wisconsin, Colorado, and Georgia. Architecture, for Bob, is a means to an end. Great design is measured by how it improves the lives of those who experience it. This necessitates a user-driven approach, emphasizing the voices of teachers, parents, and students in the design process. The results are learning environments that embrace equity, promote student agency, and encourage experiential learning opportunities. It also leads to designs that are rooted in the places and stories of the communities they serve, emphasizing connections to nature, long-term sustainability, and responsible use of resources. As a senior design architect and principal at EUA, Bob's personal design approach mirrors the values of his firm.
