We are a Certified B Corporation
We’re part of a community using business as a force for good. Being a B Corp means that we measure more than our profit. We strive to continually improve our social practices and our environmental impact with every commitment we make. This certification is a recognition of our 20-year mission of providing a social benefit to the world. We founded this firm solely focused on designing schools and transforming educational environments for learners to thrive in the 21st century and beyond. Because of our hyper focus on this work we only take on projects where we provide a benefit and have purpose.
This is also a commitment to the health and wellness of our employees by not only providing meaningful work, but by offering support with a work/life balance and opportunities for personal growth and professional development.
Setting a high standard for ourselves and our work is essential for so many reasons; for our team, our clients, our partners, the communities we serve, and for future generations. We continuously look for new ways to strengthen our volunteer and pro bono work, providing guidance to those who do not have the means to elevate themselves in their communities, as well as closely examine relationships and seek connections of mutual benefits
Internship Opportunities
Fielding International Internships are not tied to any one aspect of architecture, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in all elements of the professional planning and design process. You’ll collaborate with our studio teams to generate new ideas, explore and research relevant design patterns, aid in the preparation of client materials, work with team members from master planning and concept design, through construction while gaining experience with a host of other tasks.
We seek students who are not only serious about their own education, but who are excited about the opportunities to improve teaching and learning environments for future generations. We approach every client’s school community with curiosity, and we have fun doing it!
Fielding looks for strong academic track records, involvement in student organizations and demonstrated leadership among peers. We encourage students who are enrolled in architectural, or other relevant degree programs to apply.
Our small informal studios embrace a culture where collaboration is encouraged, ambition is valued, and diverse thought is celebrated.
The Fielding Internship Program offers opportunity to research and explore the future of learning. Working with our team, Interns identify goals and lead initiatives that drive the improvement of school design. Read more about our latest project.
Designing for Well-Being
A book of design solutions for holistic well-being in education
Recently, the Fielding International design team worked closely with an Intern to dive deeper into “Designing for Well-Being” as related to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We proudly shared our findings which provide design solutions to challenges that threaten the well-being of learners - ones that either pose as present significance in the field of education or are new themes anticipated from current circumstance. The patterns provided within this book are coupled under three core issues of wellness, security, and environment. They offer spatial design suggestions as well as conceptual guidelines and are a result of emergent, transformative thinking for the educational setting.
