We were thrilled to be a part of this great event set up by Perkins&Will. We love designing schools where these kids will grow and learn and this is just another special way to help them on their journey.
To kickstart the new K-12 school year, our Atlanta studio teamed up with local partners for the fourth annual Perkins&Will Backpack Bash. This year, we supported students at Continental Colony Elementary, Fickett Elementary, and Kimberly Elementary in Southwest Atlanta. Our goal? To alleviate the stress of purchasing school supplies. Thanks to the generosity of 46 partners from the design, architecture, engineering, and construction industries, we raised over $50,000 in donations. This allowed us to give more than 1,100 students new backpacks and enough supplies to last the entire school year. ?? ?? Giving back to our communities is a cornerstone of our #SocialPurpose program. We’re thrilled to have collaborated with the faculty and families of Continental Colony, Fickett, Kimberly Elementary Schools, and Atlanta Public Schools. ?
