Plunkett Raysich Architects, LLP

It’s been a busy and rewarding season for PRA’s Education Studio as our team has had the opportunity to connect with school district leaders and industry partners through conferences and presentations across Wisconsin.

From conversations and presentations on school safety and inclusive learning environments to fiscal stewardship and project leadership, we’ve shared ideas, learned from others, and helped shape the future of education design.

This year, our team had the privilege of presenting at several conferences alongside outstanding clients and partners:

Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) Conference
• Steve Kieckhafer & Doug Kunde – Life Safety & Building Codes
• Devin Kack with Franklin Public School District & Cadence Consulting – Beyond the Grandstand: Creating a Thriving Future Through Strategic Fiscal Stewardship
• Nicholas Kent & Dr. Melissa Thompson– A Sure Bet for Your Budget: Educational SPECIFICations that Deliver

AIA Wisconsin Conference 2026
• Doug Kunde – Leading the Conversation: Positioning the Architect as Project Leader

WASDA (AWSA) Conference
• Nicholas Kent & Dr. Melissa Thompson – Designing with All Students in Mind: Creating Learning Spaces Where Everyone Thrives

Thank you to the clients, collaborators, conference organizers, and attendees who continue to make these conversations meaningful. We’re proud to be part of discussions that create better learning environments and thriving communities.
