Space and School Design
How much space should we provide (and of what type) to accommodate the program we want to run now and into the 21st century? And that, more than anything else, is the question your district should answer first when it contemplates adding new school space. There was a time when considerations of program were secondary.

CONSTRUCTION
Restore, Renovate or Rebuild?
As our culture embraces the concept of reuse or recycling in its many forms, it is only appropriate to focus on how some school districts have tapped the creativity of board members, architects and/or planners to restore, renovate or rebuild some their local structures to serve as educational spaces.

SAFETY & SECURITY
Staying Safe at the Construction Site
When it comes to K-12 phased occupied construction, it is critical to keep students safe. However, students aren't the only ones using the site – so are construction workers, teachers/administrators and visitors. Keeping everyone safe starts with communication.

FEATURED COLUMN
Crux of the Problem
Why are schools still dependent on 19th-century funding sources? Property was the mark of wealth in the 19th century, and it probably made sense to raise funds for local concerns – and especially the schools – by levying a tax on real estate.
