Design Process

Schematic Design
The insight we gathered during the Discover phase is used to develop initial designs. During this collaboration, we work together to refine the project goals and find the best solutions for you.

Design Development
We bring the initial schematic designs to life, and work with you to finalize all aspects of the design.

Design Documentation
Once designs are approved, we assemble our proprietary toolkit filled with everything needed by the design team, project managers, and installers to ensure successful ordering, delivery, & installation.

Our service doesn’t stop when the project ends. Post-installation, we will give you all the materials pertaining to your project and store a project folder at School Specialty so that we can continue to meet your needs.

Having a school environment that students are excited to spend time in makes a big difference. Serving more than 400 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, Oliver Brown was designed with comfort, connection, and stimulation in mind.
