Welcome

Schools are an important part of the civic fabric of any city. They are centers of community, public space, provocation to children in the interest of learning, and often at a recognizable scale in urban and suburban situations. As such, it would seem that schools would be at the center of discussion and debate and intelligent criticism.

The interest of this forum is to discuss issues at play in the design and construction of schools. It is hoped that information posted here will be of interest to architects, engineers, contractors, teachers, parents and school administrators. We hope that an informed public will be better able to advocate for good schools.

Additionally, as the site fills out, it will become a valuable resource to all involved in the collection of important information and knowledge sharing.

Thanks for reading.
