May 2002
This 28-page contribution by the University of Washington's Center on Reinventing Public Education, also supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, examines five education trends and their implications for school buildings and other facilities. It offers six criteria for making decisions about facilities. And it closes with case studies of two communities (Portland, Oregon and Niagara Falls City) that have done well at devising smart ways to handle their facilities challenges.
