PJHM Architects Honored with Outstanding Project Award for Patrick Henry High School Design

SAN DIEGO - EntSun -- PJHM Architects has received an Outstanding Project Award in Learning By Design Magazine's Fall 2025 Architecture and Interior Design Awards of Excellence.

PJHM Architects's design of the Patrick Henry High School 2-Story Classroom Building (San Diego, CA) has been recognized as an award-winning benchmark facility for its incorporation of next generation learning space design and planning methodologies. The built environment characteristics found in this project are worthy of replication by other educators and design professionals who create, have oversight of, and operate spaces for learning.

All submissions to the Fall 2025 awards program were peer-reviewed by a jury of vetted education design professionals. Projects such as the Patrick Henry High School 2-Story Classroom Building are scored on six submission criteria: Design Challenges and Innovation; Sustainability and Social Impact; Interior Architecture/Design; Next Generation Learning; Functional Design/Effective space Planning; and Community Needs. The judges determine each project's worthiness, unique qualities, and the architectural design and planning concepts that were successfully implemented.
