Building Momentum: Leveraging Phase 1 Success to Ignite a Multi-Phase Campus Evolution
Master plans are often viewed as static documents, but their true power lies in their ability to adapt and build momentum through phased execution. In this session, Eric Lombardi (Head of School, Fort Worth Country Day) joins Jamie Sartory and Rebecca Sibley (Lake|Flato Architects) to deconstruct the journey of a campus in mid-transformation. Discover how the success of the new Lower School — a project rooted in biophilic design and campus identity — created the institutional "buy-in" necessary to launch Phase 2: The Upper School.

Design teams spend months (sometimes years) creating learning environments that support student success. But once those spaces are in use, how often do we actually measure what’s working? This interactive workshop introduces a practical, evidence‑based approach to Post‑Occupancy Evaluation (POE) tailored for K–12 schools. Using the CAUSE Coalition’s open‑access POE framework, attendees will learn how simple, survey-based tools can capture both human outcomes, like belonging, engagement, and teacher efficacy, and the real-world spatial experience.
Through a hands‑on “POE sprint,” participants will:
- Identify the right questions for a project
- Learn how to interpret results
- Turn findings into actionable design and operational insights
Exploring how POE can strengthen future designs, support accountability, and build a repeatable feedback loop that benefits students, educators, designers, and districts alike. And leave with a clear, practical playbook for integrating POE into their K–12 projects without needing a research background.
