Empowering learning outcomes through architecture and design.

Architecture for education is about more than classrooms and campuses — it’s about shaping environments that inspire curiosity, foster equity and support learners of all ages.

Presented by the AIAH Interior Architecture Committee and co-hosted by McCoy Rockford, the 2025 AIA Power Hour — entitled Beyond the Building: Designing for Learning, Growth and Lifelong Impact — explores how spaces can promote meaningful learning experiences for both individual students and entire communities.

Join us for a powerful conversation during HoustonXDesign2025 with education-focused architects and designers, school leaders and community voices as we examine how thoughtful design can spark creativity, support mental well-being and cultivate a culture of lifelong learning. Together, we’ll explore the intersection of pedagogy and design, discuss lessons from K-12 and higher education projects, and unpack how schools can serve as civic anchors that empower future generations.
