The East China Innovation Center has received a Citation of Excellence in Interior Design from Learning By Design. The project is featured in the Fall 2026 Architecture and Interior Design Awards of Excellence issue.
A biannual national recognition program, Learning By Design’s Awards of Excellence honors innovation and excellence in educational facility design. The East China Innovation Center was one of fourteen top award-winning projects from seventy-five submissions.
An independent jury of architects, interior designers, and educational facility professionals evaluated projects based on overall merit, distinctive qualities, and the successful implementation of architectural design and planning concepts.
“The East China Innovation Center creates a lively, welcoming STEAM environment through a simple, intentional palette, abundant daylight, and strong connections to the surrounding community,” read jury comments.
Completed in 2023 and made possible by a community supported bond initiative, the Innovation Center creates a centrally located, unified high school hub for collaborative interdisciplinary learning. Flexible learning studios, STEM labs, and collaboration zones with adaptable furnishings support cross-discipline teamwork, giving students an active role in their learning.
