Building & Renovating Schools
This all-inclusive guide to building and
renovating schools covers every step of the process – from initial
planning, needs assessment and design, right through moving into the
new facility.
An essential resource for anyone concerned
with new school construction or renovation, including architects and
engineers, contractors and project managers, facility managers,
school administrators and school board members, building committees,
community leaders, and anyone else who wants to ensure that the
project meets the schools’ needs in a cost-effective, timely manner.
The contributors to this book – architects,
construction project managers, contractors, and estimators who
specialize in school construction – provide start-to-finish, expert
guidance on the process.
The “Planning and Design” section
features guidelines for developing planning documents and selection
of the design team, green design standards and technologies,
integrating computer and building automation technology, security
equipment and design approaches and cost issues, and the special
design considerations of specialty spaces for areas including sports
facilities, performing arts centers, and library/media centers,
vocational spaces, computer and language labs, and science and art
classrooms.
“The Construction Process” covers
estimating and monitoring project costs, the role of a project
manager and project team, and construction contracts and schedules.
The book also includes:
- Real-life case studies of recently
completed school projects—a cost-focused look at the challenges,
design strategies, and final costs.
- Square foot cost models for elementary,
middle, and high school facilities with costs for individual
building components such as classrooms, auditoriums, labs,
administration areas, gyms, libraries, and swimming pools.
