LifeWise Academy is dedicated to empowering students, supporting educators, and enriching communities. Through their programs, they’ve seen measurable improvements in student attendance, behavior, and engagement, with parents overwhelmingly recommending their approach.
As their mission expanded, so did their needs. LifeWise was preparing to move into a larger facility to accommodate a growing team and create a space that could inspire the next chapter of their work. This exciting opportunity came to LOTH through a trusted referral, and it quickly became clear that the partnership was a natural fit. From the first meeting, LOTH’s commitment to thoughtful, functional design aligned perfectly with LifeWise’s passion for making a lasting impact.
Challenge
LifeWise was outgrowing its existing space. The new building needed to not only support their current operations but also anticipate future growth. They envisioned a space where their staff could work collaboratively, where branding would reinforce their identity, and where the environment itself would help students and communities thrive.
However, construction delays threatened to disrupt the project timeline. The challenge for LOTH was to remain flexible, proactive, and creative — ensuring the design vision stayed intact while adapting to evolving deadlines.
Vision
To bring their vision to life, Lifewise visited the LOTH Work Studio for multiple design sessions. These collaborative meetings helped the team explore layout possibilities, finishes, and furniture solutions in a hands-on way.
LOTH also showcased other completed projects, allowing the team to draw inspiration from real-world examples of environments that balance function, flexibility, and culture. The goal was clear: create a space that would reflect the mission and provide an environment where staff and students could do their best work.
Solution
Partnering with Meyers and Associates, LOTH designed a space that was as inspiring as it was functional. Every decision supported Lifewise’s core objectives:
- Brand Integration – Visual elements throughout the space reinforce Lifewise’s identity and mission, creating a strong sense of place.
- Flexible Learning Environments – Adaptable spaces allow students to learn in the ways that suit them best, accommodating different teaching and engagement styles.
- Collaborative Work Areas – Open, shared spaces foster communication, teamwork, and a strong organizational culture.
By maintaining close coordination between all stakeholders, LOTH was able to deliver a thoughtful solution despite the challenges of shifting construction timelines.
Results
The completed Lifewise Academy space now serves as a vibrant hub for learning, collaboration, and growth. Staff have the tools and environment they need to work efficiently and effectively. Students benefit from spaces designed to meet a variety of learning styles, while branding and thoughtful design create a welcoming, mission-driven atmosphere.
Most importantly, the new facility positions LifeWise for continued growth, ensuring they can expand their impact on students, educators, and communities for years to come.
