Education Facilities Planning

The Education Facilities Clearinghouse, in collaboration with the 21st Century School Fund and the National Council on School Facilities, produced a training series on Education Facilities Planning. This video series features presenters from around the United States and provides crucial information for the planning and development of safe and healthy schools.

Topics in this series include:

  • Facilities Plans for Every K-12 School District
  • The Educational Facilities Master Plan
  • The K-12 Safety & Emergency Management Plan
  • Educational Specifications
  • The Maintenance Plan

Each video comes with a list of useful resources. We hope you find this series very helpful as your organization begins planning for an education facility.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_separator border_width="4"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qKX9zzSn_M" title="Facilities Plans for Every K-12 School District"][vc_empty_space][vc_tta_accordion active_section="0" collapsible_all="true"][vc_tta_section title="Resources" tab_id="1443616703005-f777aa86-49da"][vc_column_text]
