Education

Squire and Partners believes education is the foundation of good design, and an important investment in the future of the industry. Supported by a dedicated Education team, the practice actively takes part in a variety of initiatives and organisations, from mentorship programmes - including Open City, Stephen Lawrence Building Futures and Budding Brunels - to university lectures, crits and in-house study groups.

Budding Brunels

Budding Brunels is a programme we’ve been involved with since 2015, designed to give 16–18 year olds first-hand experience of employment opportunities within the construction industry. Over three days, mentors from Squire and Partners and other construction professionals highlight different roles from project manager to surveyor to architect.

Open City Accelerate

Every year since its inception, Squire and Partners has worked with students from Open City as part of their pioneering Accelerate programme, aimed at increasing diversity in the architecture profession. Mentoring young people over several months, we help them create a professional portfolio and final presentation, which acts as a springboard for their future education and employment.
