Building 4 Belonging:
Creating Inclusive School Spaces
Every young person deserves to feel that they belong, especially in school. We focus on fostering inclusive environments where all students—no matter their challenges—feel welcomed, valued, and connected.
From buzzling schoolyards to quiet hallways, our goal is to understand and improve the spaces that shape these important social experiences.
Our data-driven approach combines the latest sensor technology with field observation, providing deep insights into how students interact with one another and their environment. Through a collaboration of psychology, computer science, architecture, and governance, we aim to uncover what helps students thrive—and, more importantly, what might be standing in the way.
Join us in shaping schools where every child finds their place. Discover how Building 4 Belonging is making an impact, and learn how you can be part of this change.
