Job Description

Great classrooms don't happen by accident — they're designed with intention. As a Learning Environment Specialist, you'll support schools across the country to translate their instructional goals into spaces filled with furniture and materials where children can explore, grow, and thrive. Working from blueprints to finished floor plans, you'll connect educators' needs with Lakeshore's deep knowledge of early learning and K–12 environments, turning square footage into places where great teaching happens.

A day on the job looks like this:

Review education spaces request end-to-end — reading blueprints, interpreting enrollment and program needs, and developing 2-D and 3-D plans that meet aesthetic and functional needs.
Select furniture, storage, carpets, and supplemental materials for indoor and outdoor classroom environments, balancing developmental best practices with real-world budget and space constraints.
Produce clear drawings, renderings, and design deliverables that communicate your intent to educators, administrators, and internal teams without needing translation.
Apply knowledge of early learning and K–12 curricula and standards to ensure every space recommendation supports diverse learners and aligns with how teachers actually teach.
Partner with colleagues to present Lakeshore's vision to school stakeholders, fielding questions thoughtfully and representing our approach with confidence and care.
