For an educational building, including primary, secondary and higher education, EVstudio works with you to create the right balance of flexibility and user-focused design.
Educational buildings, classrooms and assembly spaces must be increasingly flexible to provide maximum value to students, staff, and the community. This includes planning for occupancy growth and changing needs.
Designing For
Given our extensive work with public, charter, and private institutions, EVstudio understands the unique needs and requirements for each. We can manage a project of any scope, including renovations, additional space, or entirely new buildings. Our team is here to help with everything from design to construction to occupancy.
We will also help create a design and construction schedule that minimizes costs and ensures classes start on time.
EVstudio’s work includes pre-k, primary schools, secondary schools, and higher education.

TLC Early Learning Center in Longmont CO
TLC Early Learning Center in Longmont CO

EVstudio collaborated with TLC Learning Center in Longmont, Colorado, to design a 33,800-square-foot facility dedicated to early childhood education. Serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, the center combines classrooms with therapy and movement spaces to foster motor skill development, social-emotional growth, and sensory learning. The project reflects TLC’s mission to provide a comprehensive, inclusive approach to kindergarten readiness.
The design balances functionality and aesthetics while addressing licensing standards and the unique requirements of two early learning programs. Shared pocket restrooms, efficient plumbing layouts, and operable windows optimize space and comfort, while exposed structural elements create an open, engaging atmosphere. The cohesive color palette complements the surrounding landscape and supports TLC’s branding, promoting a calming yet energetic environment for students and staff. Nature-inspired outdoor spaces, designed by Norris Design, encourage exploration and play, while a fire-access track doubles as a bike path, enhancing site functionality.
Overcoming site challenges such as parking constraints, terrain, and setbacks, the design seamlessly integrates classrooms, playgrounds, and administrative areas. EVstudio’s design addressed evolving needs while maintaining program goals, aided by Golden Triangle Construction’s collaborative CM/GC approach, ensuring progress despite late-stage changes.
This cornerstone project underscores EVstudio’s expertise in creating impactful educational spaces. The TLC Learning Center is a vital resource for the community, supporting young learners and their families for years to come.
