An Emphasis on School Safety & Security

A safe learning environment goes beyond the classroom; it’s the intangible space that supports learners in the pursuit of knowledge, inspires curiosity, and makes them feel empowered to participate in class. Every day, you must balance safety, teaching and learning, school operations and culture, and the surrounding community, creating a complex environment and set of priorities.

This is one of the reasons EDspaces is excited to have the Campus Safety Conference (CSC) co-locate with us again in Houston. This strategic partnership is a natural progression as mental health and campus physical safety go hand in hand with classroom design to create the spaces where students and teachers thrive.

There is no other venue where your team can come together to design learning hubs while addressing the rising issues facing today’s schools and institutions of higher education, helping to prepare for, prevent, and mitigate security and safety incidents.

We believe bringing together all the stakeholders involved is so critically important and transformative, we are extending to you a special offer for one of your security team to attend the CSC at a 50% discount. Each Education Full Conference Registrant will receive a promo code for 50% off of  registration for CSC via email after they register. Have questions? Send us a note at [email protected]
