BUILDING INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOLS

摘要

Where is an occupant's safety and productivity more important than in schools, where the foundations of our children's futures are laid? There is a proven and strong correlation between a student's academic performance and a school's physical condition. Many children are often learning in sub-standard facilities that are riddled with deferred maintenance, causing health issues, discomfort and distractions for students. From mold issues to poor acoustics and lighting, as well as classrooms that are too hot or too cold, unsound conditions in the classroom environment can play a significant role in the health and productivity of students. Improving these environmental factors enhances learning, results in higher test scores and increases daily attendance, an important marker for school funding.
