Our Work
Francis Tuttle
At Francis Tuttle Technology Center’s Edmond campus, Takeform partnered with A-Line Designs to bring a modern, collaborative energy to the 155,000-square-foot trade school. Through a phased approach, we delivered a cohesive graphic system where multiple products work together seamlessly—bringing ambitious design concepts to life.
Towson University
Towson’s Facilities Department began working with Takeform in 2019, drawn to our design+build approach to creating signage. Unlike previous experiences with multiple companies, Towson appreciated having a single partner that offered all the necessary expertise and capabilities under one roof.

Trends in education design
Feel First Design
Design in education is shifting from aesthetics to well-being - supporting student and faculty focus, comfort, and emotional health. Through intentional choices like calming colors, flexible layouts, and natural light, schools are creating environments that help people thrive. This human-centered approach reflects a growing understanding that thoughtful design directly impacts how we learn, teach, and connect every day.
Content as Experience
Educational spaces are becoming platforms for learning beyond the classroom, using visuals and messaging to spark curiosity and reinforce lessons. Through intentional design - like quotes, timelines, and subject-based graphics - everyday spaces become opportunities for engagement. This holistic approach turns the entire campus into a learning environment, surrounding students with inspiration and making education a more immersive, continuous experience.
Interactive by Design
Interactive technology is reshaping education, adding energy to how students engage with content. As screens become more common, designers are focusing on making tech experiences meaningful and attention-friendly. Thoughtful integration enhances focus, curiosity, and connection - supporting the learning journey without overwhelming it. The result is a balanced environment where innovation meets intention, and every digital moment adds real educational value.
