Learning Environments That Extend Beyond the Classroom
For over 50 years, LAN’s architects and engineers have been working side by side with school district stakeholders to meet the unique educational facility needs of their community.
Our team of architects and engineers are experts on the evolving educational landscape, and we understand the importance of integrating design with curriculum. From elementary to middle and high schools, our experienced team of professionals infuses school and community values into physical spaces. This modern approach to educational architecture and engineering truly and positively impacts the student experience by fostering multiple learning styles and promoting flexibility and collaboration.
LAN currently serves as the Architect and/or Engineer of Record for over three dozen schools throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Our architects, engineers, environmental professionals, and surveyors have a demonstrated track record. We have designed hundreds of school projects, including ground-up construction of new schools, large and small additions, renovations, as well as an array of capital improvements.
As a leader in K-12 educational architecture and engineering, LAN has a long history of working with school districts to plan, promote, and execute school bond referendums. We take a partnership approach to working with our district clients that goes beyond just educational facility designs.
Our full-service team works with an unmatched efficiency that comes from decades of cross-discipline cooperation. Working hand in glove with the community, our process includes predesign visioning sessions and collaboration with students, staff, and stakeholders at all levels. The result is a school that serves as a point of pride reflective of the community in which it is located, and the aspirations held for students who attend.
"LAN Associates not only delivered, but they went above and beyond to ensure we, the client, were informed and satisfied. From day one, they took ownership of every detail of the project. Any concerns that the district’s Board, Superintendent, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds or I had were addressed in a timely professional manner. Their knowledge of design and construction in the public-school setting was always evident. I would highly recommend LAN Associates to any client, but especially to those public school districts seeking to add a responsible, responsive Architect of Record to their team."

"After an intensive interview process, it was clear that LAN was the top choice for our district. To say LAN hit the ground running is an understatement. Our district was in the middle of a $1 million library renovation and ready to embark on a new $24 million referendum for additions and renovations to our almost 100 year old school. Not only did LAN take over the library project, but they were also involved in every step of the planning process, which led to an overwhelmingly positive vote for our new bond."

"LAN worked with our district on a school bond referendum that helped us expand Holdrum Middle School with a wellness-focused addition and complete vital capital improvements at all three of our district's schools. What truly sets LAN's work apart is the commitment to wellness-focused architecture that is built into their designs. Every design decision was made with the well-being of our students in mind, fostering a positive and healthy educational environment."
