Design spaces that inspire today's learners to be tomorrow's leaders

We design spaces that encourage all students to be their best. The RLPS team of K-12 architects, ALEP planner and interior designers has been working with public and private schools for more than 60 years.

We provide customized design solutions that encourage future-learning initiatives, inspire student development, and attract faculty and staff.

Customize design solutions to work with your educational goals and budget

RLPS takes the time to get to know your short- and long-term educational goals along with your interaction with the local community. We can then design a school that is uniquely yours to support educational pedagogies, stimulate learning and serve the broader community.

The RLPS team is here to assist with your project from conceptualization to first day of class. Our K-12 services include master planning, feasibility studies, renovations, new construction, interior design, code compliance assessments, post occupancy reviews and/or sustainable design/LEED or WELL certification support services.

03

Create classroom spaces that complement programming

Our team collaborates with Districts to design spaces that work with curriculum. These spaces include STEM and STEAM classrooms, large and small group instruction areas and flexible spaces that can be utilized for various subjects.

When we interviewed RLPS, we felt their firm displayed creative, innovative approaches to school building projects. The work that they've produced for us did exactly that: creative, innovative, and even more - the proposed project is forward-thinking and fiscally responsible. Additionally, they are detail-oriented and very responsive.

Utilize data-driven solutions to right size spaces for all education models

Our team augments extensive design experience for K-12 schools with a holistic and inclusive process of evaluation. This method confirms square footage is right sized for educational needs and student population, while also considering utilization throughout the day. Design concepts support your education model and address space needs while also considering your values and mission. RLPS offers a range of services to support the development needs of both K-12 public and private school design projects.

As one of the top architectural firms in the region, RLPS has been ranked by Central Penn Business Journal as one of the largest focusing on K-12 public school design. Our K-12 team provides a transparent and engaging feasibility study and design process. We have helped public school districts continue to move projects forward during the current PlanCon moratorium.

We cannot recommend RLPS enough. From the onset of our first project with them, they showed genuine enthusiasm for our school and our project. They are sensitive to accommodating our operations while also smoothly moving projects forward in a timely fashion. What set them apart from other firms from the very beginning of our relationship was the level of engagement that they invested in our school, our people, and our projects.
