This new resource for community leaders, educators and designers provides eight recommendations to help create schools that encourage student achievement and stronger communities. The 70-page Report from the National Summit on School Design is intended to help communities make better decisions about the approximately $30 billion spent annually on building and renovating school facilities in the United States. The report’s recommendations reflect the unprecedented collaboration of more than 200 public, private, and civic sector leaders and experts who participated in the three-day National Summit on School Design late last year, which was presented by the American Architectural Foundation and KnowledgeWorks Foundation.
