Abstract

A student’s environment directly affects his ability to learn. School design must take into consideration the growing needs of the educator, the students, and their community. This research establishes design principles for new K-12 educational facilities. These principles will be based upon successes of past educational facilities, new educational demands, new technologies, stricter security guidelines, sustainable design, and the desire to create a connection to the school’s local community.
