About

Our Commitment
to Our Work

QKA deeply cares about the buildings we design and the educational purpose behind their use.

Good architecture is more than the sum of the materials that make it up. The human experience unfolds within the walls we create; people learn, work and interact in the buildings we design. We take the responsibility that our clients have entrusted us with the utmost sincerity and respect.

Inclusive and Equitable School Design

In addition to our commitment to fostering a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce, QKA understands that facilities have played a role in the systemic inequities in our educational system in the past and that they should play a role in addressing them in the future. Recognizing and addressing these inequities is an important part of our assessment, design, planning and engagement process.
