The Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) Capital Conference and Trade Show is a premier educational program that takes place in Columbus Ohio. Bringing together, superintendents, board members, treasurers and operations staff, the conference is focused on providing practical solutions to district challenges, a focus on academic achievement and supporting staff who issue critical support to all students in Ohio. Spread over 3 days, the conference offers opportunities for continuing education sessions, networking and information on new technologies and products to support schools districts.

This year, TDA was glad to support our educational partners and exhibit at the capital conference. We appreciate the many visitors who stopped by our booth to connect with our architectural staff and share stories from their districts over the last year.

While offering a variety of services, from master planning to facilities assessments, architectural design services and communications, we would love to continue the conversations, so feel free to reach out with further questions.

"Facilities as a Catalyst for Change," Presentation with Wickliffe City Schools

This year, Wickliffe City School District Superintendent Joseph Spiccia, Director of Strategic Innovation Julie Ramos, Director of Operations and Human Resources Bradley Leyrer, and Claire Bank, RA spoke to conference attendees on how Wickliffe’s new PK-12 Campus is helping the district “reimagine education” in their district.

Superintendent Spiccia commented: “This facility project is a journey we have been on since 2017 and a rare opportunity we had to take. It is unusual to rebuild an entire campus while marrying that to the significant educational change in our district. We are just beginning to see the fruits of it.”

While a project of this size is challenging, the team showed how with good stakeholder engagement, a focus on incorporating staff and community feedback and good architectural design can serve as a catalyst for educational change.

For the district, this was a natural progression as they looked forward to best educating students and preparing them for their careers and lives after school.

To learn more about how these strategies could be employed your district and community, reach out to the Wickliffe team at their website.
