One highlight was a thoughtful conversation with two college students about balancing sustainability goals, including indoor air quality and HVAC energy demands.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and attending next year’s conference!

🎉 Please join us in welcoming Danielle Dratch, Senior Project Architect, to our Denver office! 🎉

Danielle shares what excites her most about joining QKA:

I wanted to continue my career in education design with a firm entirely dedicated to creating high-performance schools with a focus on putting people and communities first. I look forward to innovative educational solutions and increased knowledge that will come from combining my experience with education design with QKA’s experience.

QKA shares my philosophy of listening first before starting a design and collaborating with stakeholders to provide the best solutions for their community. I have a strong communication and project management skills. I enjoy working together with people to create the best possible outcomes and build each other through mentorship.

We're excited to have Danielle join the team! ✨

Danielle Dratch and Joel Williams recently participated in an Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) event hosted by Girls Inc. of Metro Denver to teach members about the different disciplines within the AEC industry. Approximately 50 teens participated in the event.

QKA hosted an architecture station focused on space planning. Small groups were tasked with designing their ideal school building using a blank floor plan that included exterior walls and columns. Each group was required to incorporate a minimum number of different types of spaces, including classrooms, learning labs, offices, study rooms, conference rooms, and storage areas. The groups had 10 to 15 minutes to develop their plans before presenting their final designs, discussing their ideas with the other groups, and receiving feedback on their projects.

Programs like this are important because they give teens hands-on experience exploring different professions. They also highlight the AEC industry as a potential career path for students who may not have previously considered it. In fact, after participating in the activities, one teen expressed interest in pursuing an internship at QKA's Denver office.

A4LE recently hosted tours of Lake Elementary School and Michelle Obama School. QKA's Aaron Jobson, Brooke Knight, Eddie VanSlambrouck, and Lyanne Schuster attended the event.

Eddie led the tour of Lake Elementary School, a recently completed QKA-designed campus that celebrated its ribbon cutting earlier this year. The school serves 346 students in grades K-6.

The second location visited was Michelle Obama School, which opened in October 2020 and serves 431 students. Both schools are part of West Contra Costa Unified School District, which co-sponsored the event with A4LE.

The tours provided an opportunity for partners and clients to experience these educational environments firsthand and learn more about the design solutions that support student success. A key focus was comparing two campuses with similar educational model goals and exploring how those concepts were implemented in unique ways at each site.
