Our Unique Perspective

Education only, education always. Our operational experience is an endlessly informative resource to help us align the technology solutions and spaces to the needs of today with an eye toward tomorrow’s requirements - we’ve seen what happens when the technology spaces are too small, or inconveniently located, or have inadequate environmental controls and we understand how that impacts long-term performance and creates barriers to innovation.

An advocate when you need it. We take the time to listen to each stakeholder's pain points, wants, and needs. We combine those with our experience in K-12 to deliver robust solutions that will bring opportunities for learning and growth. The design team at Forward Edge has partnered with educational facility owners and architects on over 28 projects across the state of Ohio, with over half of projects now being occupied and operated by the clients and communities they were built to serve.
