While most of these offices, manufacturing facilities, and residential towers have yet to be built, the Whittle School &amp; Studios Suzhou is a harbinger of what\u2019s to come, having just completed its inaugural academic year for the first wave of what\u2019s expected to be a total enrollment of 2,500 students in pre-K\u201312th grade. \u201cThis is a major milestone project,\u201d says Perkins Eastman Managing Principal Ron Vitale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As managing principal of the Shanghai studio, Vitale helped Perkins Eastman lead a global project team of more than 140 designers and consultants from Shanghai, London, Hong Kong, and New York at the project\u2019s height, producing a campus of advanced academic facilities, a dormitory tower, and state-of-the-art theater, music, and sports complexes. The accommodations for the 119,000 sm (more than 1.28M sf) Whittle School are so grand, Vitale says, it \u201clooks more like a community college campus than an elementary, middle, and high school.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the new Ecopark Daesung International School in Hanoi is set to open its doors to 1,500 students in pre-K\u201312th grade this fall. Like Whittle, the school\u2019s design results from a collaboration of multiple practice areas and specialty studios within Perkins Eastman, including landscape architecture, interiors, and master planning in addition to the architecture. \u201cThese days, it\u2019s rare that we get a contract that includes everything, however, in this case we\u2019re controlling all the aspects of the building ourselves,\u201d Vitale says. Not only that: the firm\u2019s Large Scale Mixed-Use practice, under Principal Ming Wu, is contracted to design multiple towers in the surrounding Ecopark New Town that combine residential, office, retail\/ food and beverage, and healthcare. This pattern of development in emerging markets has no real parallel in the United States, Wu says. In developing economies such as Vietnam, Thailand, China, and elsewhere in Asia, \u201cthere\u2019s a burgeoning middle class that\u2019s accumulating tremendous wealth. Parents make great sacrifices to ensure their kids excel in every way\u2014but especially academically\u2014 and the development community knows that if it can include an international school in every new town, that\u2019s a desirable amenity and a value-add.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breadth of expertise and collaboration the Whittle and Ecopark projects represent is a culmination of two decades of work since Vitale joined Perkins Eastman and brought the firm its first international school commission: the Concordia International School in Shanghai, a pre-K\u201312 campus whose high-school, elementary, and fine arts buildings won top AIA honor awards and led to Perkins Eastman being its architect of choice for additional campuses in Hanoi and Bangkok. Vitale and teams across multiple studios in the United States and abroad have proceeded to build a portfolio of 65 international schools in 26 countries\u2014and their ranks are growing. The work has unleashed many design innovations along the way and generated multiple business opportunities both within and beyond the K\u201312 practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/perkinseastmanthenarrative.com\/summer2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/whittle-school.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 7.5-hectare (18.5-acre) waterfront campus at Whittle School &amp; Studios Suzhou is among the latest to be completed in Perkins Eastman\u2019s growing portfolio of international schools, an important niche in the firm\u2019s work abroad. Whittle\u2019s campus is organized into three courtyard structures for early learning, elementary, and middle and high school students that step up toward a dormitory tower and a horizontal structure for athletic and performing-arts facilities. Photograph Copyright Tian Fangfang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up for Adventure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>International schools are generally built to serve communities of expatriates who are stationed abroad to work for corporations, governments, and nongovernmental organizations of all kinds. The schools offer multilingual programs for a mix of local and foreign students. To leave home to live and work in a new land, Vitale believes, takes a certain amount of bravery\u2014and the design of international schools reflects this inclination. \u201cThis is a really incredible niche sector in the firm\u2014it has so much to offer,\u201d he says. \u201cThe people who take these opportunities abroad tend to be more adventurous, more progressive-minded. They want to work in an environment that\u2019s more experimental.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International school tuition is in line with America\u2019s top private schools, so clients can afford to push the boundaries. At Whittle, designers with the firm\u2019s Workplace practice planned the nonclassroom spaces, while hospitality-focused ForrestPerkins, a distinct studio of Perkins Eastman, handled the dormitory interiors. Architecturally, these schools feature sophisticated materials and elements such as glass curtain-wall systems and extensive brise-soleil screens. Programs often include enviable arts and theater installations, high-tech labs and maker spaces, competition pools, fitness centers, and sports fields\u2014which also serve the greater community of student and faculty families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/perkinseastmanthenarrative.com\/summer2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/0090490_00_0_N11_mr.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Perkins Eastman is designing a new innovation center at the American School of Guatemala in Guatemala City.

Photograph Sarah Mechling\/Copyright Perkins Eastman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Referral Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with international schools produces deep relationships that yield lasting bonds. \u201cBecause you\u2019re traveling so far, you\u2019re spending a lot of time\u2014sometimes 24\/7\u2014 with the people there,\u201d says Principal Mark McCarthy, who is based in the New York studio and handles projects in the Middle East. It\u2019s not unusual for him to share meals or even sleep at a client\u2019s home. \u201cIt\u2019s very intense. You get to know everyone so well. You become part of that culture for the time you\u2019re working there,\u201d he says. Those relationships lead to more business. After building the Ecopark school, the executives at Turner Construction referred Perkins Eastman to Fairmont, which then hired the firm to design its new hotel in Hanoi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In South America, the firm\u2019s initial 2013 master plan for updates to the pre-K\u201312 Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) in Lima, Peru, has led to further work there and elsewhere that continues to this day, Principal Omar Calder\u03ccn Santiago says. \u201cThat relationship really opened the doors to my practice, going around the world,\u201d he says. Because the international-school community is tight-knit, the work in Peru has led to commissions in Austria, Germany, and Africa. In many cases, existing schools occupy long-outdated buildings that can\u2019t accommodate modern learning, and clients \u201care in desperate need of rethinking their facilities. This creates fertile ground for a \u2018Let\u2019s try something new!\u2019 attitude. It\u2019s like a laboratory for exploring what a learning space could be, and I do a lot of importing back here to K-12 projects in the United States,\u201d Calder\u03ccn Santiago explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Ground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of these imports comes from the Commons at Colegio FDR. Designed to bridge two sides of the campus, the building\u2019s three light-filled stories create a destination as much as a pass-through, making it a dual-purpose project that invoked new ways of thinking about the mingling of academic, gathering, recreational, and dining spaces. Whereas traditional school design calls for segregated cafeteria, library, and outdoor spaces, the Commons weaves them together\u2014there\u2019s no distinction between a table meant for study and one where students can eat lunch. \u201cThat\u2019s an idea that we had, but it hadn\u2019t really gotten a chance to exist\u201d before this project, Calder\u03ccn Santiago says. Now, the plans in development for the new Alexandria City High School outside Washington, DC, eschew a dedicated cafeteria; students will be able to grab food from a servery and spread out at open seating across the school\u2019s five levels. Likewise, at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School in downtown Washington, there\u2019s no dedicated library; at the center of the school, bookshelves are staggered across cascading terraces\u2014a series of interconnected spaces and functions also known as the Commons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the onset of COVID-19, K\u201312 Practice-Area Leader Sean O\u2019Donnell says school plans have been pushing more learning opportunities outside\u2014a feature that\u2019s fairly standard in Central and South America and the Caribbean, where Perkins Eastman is currently designing renovations and new-construction projects for international schools in Guatemala City, Panama City, and the US Virgin Islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe outdoors is not just for recess or P.E. It\u2019s just as much a part of the educational landscape,\u201d O\u2019Donnell says. The new John Lewis Elementary School in Washington, DC, has a campus that\u2019s bookended by an amphitheater on one side and a \u201cliving classroom\u201d on the other. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing a lot more interest in using the outdoors across all our clients,\u201d O\u2019Donnell says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/perkinseastmanthenarrative.com\/summer2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/John-Lewis-elementary-school.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/perkinseastmanthenarrative.com\/summer2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/56031_00_0_N121_org-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The engaging outdoor classroom at the new John Lewis Elementary School (top) in Washington, DC, is an example of outdoor programming that\u2019s evolved from international school designs such as Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Lima, Peru. Its elementary school (above) features a central courtyard animated with multiple seating and recreational options, while broad stairways \u201ccarry\u201d landscaping down from the main level, further transforming it into a destination. John Lewis Photograph Copyright Joseph Romeo; Colegio FDR Photograph Copyright Juan Solano<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passages with Purpose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>K\u201312 designers are also rethinking the interstitial spaces inside a school, such as stairways and corridors that can account for up to 40 percent of its square footage. The centerpiece of the new STEAM-focused Creativity &amp; Innovation Centre at the Bavarian International School near Munich, Germany, is a wide stair that invites pause and interaction\u2014a modern take on the gracious stone steps that have come to define the school\u2019s original Rococo-style mansion. One can draw a straight line between that design and the wide, terraced stairs that anchor Banneker in DC and the newly opened Boston Arts Academy, Calder\u03ccn Santiago says. The elementary school wing of Colegio FDR features wide corridors outside the classrooms furnished with round tables, bean bags, and soft, serpentine bench seating that serve as learning extensions for individual study or team teaching. \u201cWe\u2019ve been exploring this approach for years, but now it\u2019s really taking hold,\u201d O\u2019Donnell says, pointing to similar spaces found in John Lewis Elementary School and Zervas Elementary School in Newtown, MA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Class Leader<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>International schools mark a significant presence within Perkins Eastman\u2019s overall portfolio across 18 practice areas. The pioneering aspect of this work generates outsize benefits in the form of design innovation and new business for other markets. The reason, Ron Vitale says, is that \u201cinternational schools get you in early to regions and cities where there\u2019s investment, where there\u2019s growth in the international community. Then comes healthcare, higher education, hotels, restaurants, and mixed-use. International schools lead the&nbsp;way.\u201d <strong>N<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"border-teal\">To see more examples of our work and a list of our international school projects across the globe, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/perkinseastman.com\/international-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perkinseastman.com\/international-schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/perkinseastmanthenarrative.com\/summer2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/64990_00_0_N25_mr.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The idea of employing corridors and stairways as instructional space first took hold at international schools, Principal Omar Calder\u03ccn Santiago says.
