Wayfind Education is currently diving into the history and legacy of mid-century modern school design in Southern California. We are researching the impact of such firms as Smith, Powell & Morgridge and its predecessor, Marsh, Smith & Powell. Their progressive designs moved away from traditional block structures and, instead, emphasized integrating indoor and outdoor environments and creating a more extended campus.
